Glentoran are still very much in this tie despite having to come from behind at the Oval this evening in our first game in the 2021-22 Europa Conference League.
Missing a few regulars, manager Mick McDermott was forced to make a few changes to the starting XI but it didn't show in the early stages as the Glens made a fast and aggressive start.
Glentoran Kitman Jeff King has confirmed the following new squad numbers for the 2021-22 season, starting tonight with the home Europa Conference tie with The New Saints:
8. Rhys Marshall
9. Jay Donnelly
Thursday 8th July
Kick Off 6.45pm
Tomorrow night we return to European action for the second consecutive season when we face The New Saints from Wales. This will be our 101st. European match but our first in the newly launched UEFA Europa Conference.
Glentoran Women missed the chance to return to the top of the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership following a surprise 2-1 defeat at Sion Swifts Ladies.
Teegan Lynch opened the scoring just before the break for the hosts and Aimee Neal added a second just after the hour mark.
Kerry Beattie gave champions Glentoran hope with five minutes remaining - remarkably her eighth goal against Sion in three appearances this season - but it was not enough for the Glens.

As we reported on Friday evening, Stevie Gordon has joined Carrick Rangers after nine years at the Oval. It would be remiss of the club not to thank and pay tribute to a man who was a credit to the Glentoran colours and badge throughout his time at the Oval.
Lifelong Glenman Stevie joined his boyhood club from Glenavon in the 2012 close season, and made a total 161 first team appearances, scoring 22 goals from midfield. He made his first team debut at the end of December 2012 in a comprehensive 5-0 home league win over Donegal Celtic.
