James Singleton is Beth Stafford’s choice for the cover of Friday night’s Glentoran Gazette as the Glens welcome league leaders Coleraine to The Oval.

The 1923 Committee reflect the frustration felt by many supporters over the club’s ticket allocation for the Boxing Day Big Two clash, while in the latest instalment of Brian McClelland’s acclaimed series on Danny Blanchflower, the Committee’s archives are raided to uncover a remarkable document that forms part of both football and television history.

Philip Stevenson has been busy this week, looking back ninety years at another fascinating piece of Glentoran memorabilia before bringing things right up to date with a look at the club’s latest community initiative, led by dedicated supporter Claire Thompson.

Following our penalty shoot-out victory over Cliftonville in the Bet McLean Cup, Norman Ternahan reviews Glentoran’s record in spot-kick deciders, while Henry Muldrew gives his take on Scotland’s remarkable World Cup qualification victory over Denmark.

There’s Declan Devine’s call for a positive response from the players after recent setbacks, an in-depth look at visitors Coleraine, photo action from Tommy Sewell and Pacemaker Press, news from Around the Oval and all the stats.
