Glentoran face Institute at the Oval on Saturday looking to build on the excellent performance against Linfield last Saturday. Manager, Eddie Patterson is still without long-term absentee David Howland whilst Jim O'Hanlon (thigh) and Willie Garrett (ankle) are still unavailable through injury. He will give late fitness checks to both Marcus Kane and Steven Gordon but everyone else is available for selection.

The two teams met earlier this season, playing out a 1-1 draw at Drumahoe on 20th September.

(Highlights of that game are on BBC Sport NI HERE). Despite dominating the early stages of that game the Glens found themselves behind when Thomas McBride's header eluded Aaron Hogg. Institute were then reduced to 10 men with 35 minutes of the game remaining but it took a late goal from Curtis Allen to bring Glentoran level. The Glens almost snatched all 3 points in stoppage time but Willie Garrett saw his effort come back off the woodwork.

Tomorrow's edition of the Gazette features the scorer of that late equaliser at Windsor Park, Johnny Addis. Pick one up at the Oval for just £3.
