After marking his 500th senior appearance with a goal at Ballymena, club captain Marcus Kane is Beth Stafford’s cover star for the latest edition of your multi award-winning Glentoran Gazette as we welcome cross-city rivals Linfield to The BetMcLean Oval in the County Antrim Shield.

Inside, the 1923 Committee calls for greater clarity and consistency from the game’s governing bodies, while Jimmy Carter finds common ground across the Big Two divide as he supports David Healy in condemning the unacceptable abuse directed at managers and players.

Declan Devine views the Shield tie as an opportunity to get back on track following Saturday’s disappointing and frustrating display, while Philip Stevenson’s Sketch In Time features Curtis Allen, the prolific striker who represented both Glentoran and Linfield.

Elsewhere, we take a closer look at everything that has been happening at The Clearer Twist National Stadium so far this season.

You’ll also find superb match photography from our victory at Ballymena, courtesy of Tommy Sewell and Pacemaker Press, along with the latest news and features from around the Club.
