Aaron Haire scored the only goal of the game at Knockramer Park to see the Hoops through to the last eight.

Colin Malone’s side will relish the challenge of a Premier League side and the fact it is a local derby should prove to be a fascinating tie.

The Hoops have two former Portadown players in their ranks, Josh Barton and January signing Shea Conaty.

Glenavon will host Loughgall after their superb 4-1 win over holders Glentoran.
