Lord Rana said: “I am delighted to be working with Cliftonville FC given the club's longstanding, respected status and its great work with local youth.
“I set up the Cordia Academy to help identify talented young sportspeople and give them the best chance of success. We open access by offering scholarships to young people from low-income families. I know personally that if an individual has the drive and talent and is given the right opportunities, they will flourish regardless of their starting point.
