NIFL has now announced the final five Sports Direct Premiership fixtures following the split.
Our remaining games will be as follows:
Glentoran supporters left the Bet McLean Oval at 9.30pm this evening reconciling themselves to a fourth trophyless season in a row following a frankly half-hearted exit from the Clearer Water Irish Cup in this Big Two home semi final.
Declan Devine made just one change from last week’s 4-0 win over Ballymena United, with a recovered Jay Donnelly returning for his first start since the sixth-round game at Ballymacash. Junior was on the bench. This was Jay's 150th game for the club.
Following a pitch inspection we can confirm tonight’s Clearer Water Irish Cup semi final v Linfield is on. Kick Off 7.45pm.
Friday 29th March
Kick Off 7.45pm
A big one tomorrow night as we face our old rivals Linfield at the Bet McLean Oval in the semi-final of this year’s Clearer Water Irish Cup.
The March 200 Club winners are as follows.
Congratulations to all winners! Can winners please contact Ruth via superstore@glentoran.com to arrange payment of winnings.

This announcement from the PSNI applies to all Glentoran supporters attending Friday evening's game.
Police request that Glentoran fans travelling by car and coach to the Clearer Water Irish Cup semi-final match with Linfield at the Bet McLean Oval Stadium, on Friday 29th March 24 with 1945 hrs KO, leave sufficient travel time to arrive at the match.
The club was delighted to welcome to the Oval and onto the pitch on Saturday, seven members of the Glentoran squad that reached the quarter final of the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1973-74 season.
These legends were hosted by Philip Stevenson and the Glentoran Supporters’ Committee (1923) to mark the 50th anniversary of the two quarter final ties with Borussia Monchengladbach in March 1974. The players watched the game from the Directors Box and were hosted by the 1923 members at half time.
A disappointing start to the season for Glentoran Women in this opening game in the Avenir Sports All Island Cup at Blanchflower Stadium this afternoon. But given that the team has played one pre-season friendly so far and that the next competitive match is not for another month, the result should not have much bearing on the 2024 season.
A three-goal burst in six second half minutes made this game – last one before the Sports Direct Premiership split - safe for Glentoran and sent the team into next week’s Irish Cup semifinal on a high after a traumatic few weeks.
Congratulations to Jonny Russell who has been called up for the Northern Ireland Under 20 squad for the UEFA U21 Euro 2025 qualifier against Serbia next Tuesday (26 March) in Leskovac. This is a well-deserved honour for Jonny after a great first season as a first team squad member with 29 first team appearances so far in the season.
