On Saturday we welcome Carrick Rangers as we look to put the memory of September’s agonising 2-1 defeat at Taylor’s Avenue behind us.
Carrick Rangers manager Stuart King will be hoping that having defeated Glentoran at Taylor’s Avenue earlier in the season can inspire his side to end their current run of 3 consecutive league defeats.
Following on from the serious injury to Bobby Burns at Seaview on Saturday 28th October, Glentoran Chairman Colin Jess has confirmed that the club Is actively pursuing a full and transparent investigation into the events immediately after Bobby collided with the advertising boards at the Shore Road end of the ground.
“While Bobby has undergone an operation and is now recovering, for some time his condition was considered extremely serious. However no consideration was given to his safety or dignity, nor the potential of further injury from the game continuing.

A number of Glentoran Players were in action at various levels for Northern Ireland today.
A double from David Fisher – a second minute penalty and a clincher on 65 minutes – gave the Wee Glens a 2-0 win at Ashfield this evening in the NIFL U20 Premiership.
As well as the win was the good news that Harry Murphy completed 70 minutes as he continues his recovery, Ollie Webber kept a clean sheet and marshalled his defence very well and very encouragingly Aaron Wightman played for an hour, his first action since his injury at Newry on September 9th. All good news for Warren Feeney and his senior squad.

A bad injury to Bobby Burns after an hour cast a shadow over this hotly contested game at Seaview. Normally a draw at this venue would be seen as a result to cherish, but today Glentoran will feel that a real opportunity was missed after dominating the first half and playing against ten men for 40 minutes.
