Congratulations and good luck to the six Glentoran Women players selected by manager Tanya Oxtoby for Northern Ireland's upcoming UEFA Nations League Play-Off games against Montenegro home and away. A totally deserved honour for all six with a couple of others very unlucky to miss out. We're all with you!
Glentoran FC is delighted to announce that our striker David Fisher has extended his contract for another year in the face of extensive interest from a number of clubs inside and outside Northern Ireland. This will keep David at the Bet McLean Oval until the end of the 2024/25 season.
David (22) joined us from AFC Wimbledon in the last summer transfer window, and since he settled into the team has scored 11 goals, including 7 in our last 6 games to become a very important player for us and a very popular figure among our supporters.
More disappointment for the Glens support today as for the second time in 5 days we meekly surrendered and squandered a 2-goal lead at home. And for the second time in 4 months it was 35-year-old Curtis Allen who came home to haunt his old club with the vital late goal.
In what has been a very sad week for the Glentoran Family, we are very sorry to hear of the death of another very long standing and high profile Glenman, Eddie Harvey.
As he prepares to face a Carrick side that have given the Glens trouble on a couple of occasions this season, Warren Feeney explains why the January window was a quiet one and updates fans on the squad’s injury list while graphic artist Beth Stafford marks Charlie Lindsay’s return to the Oval by placing him on the cover of another 40-page edition. The Gazette team also takes a look at the job Stuart King has done on a budget considerably smaller than some sides in the Premiership. Matthew Brown decries the rumour mongers and urges Glens fans to heed the words of Ali Pour.
Glentoran Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former player John McDaid.
NIFL has announced that our Sports Direct Premiership match with Glenavon, postponed from 19th January, has been rescheduled to now take place on Tuesday 5th March at Mourneview Park (Kick Off 7:45pm)
Saturday 10th February
Kick Off 3.00pm
On Saturday we meet Carrick Rangers at the Bet McLean Oval in what will be the fourth meeting of the season between the 2 sides.
Congratulations to Glens captain Marcus Kane, who made his 400th appearance for Glentoran in our Sports Direct Premiership draw with Cliftonville last night. 234 0f those games have been as captain. To mark the milestone the club Chairman, Colin Jess presented him with a souvenir commemorative first team shirt with the legend Kane 400 on the back.
The draw for the January 200 Club has been made. The list of winners is below and once again we thank you for your support.
