Glentoran missed their chance to book a place in the semi final of the Toals Co Antrim Shield tonight, losing 1-0 at the Ballymena Showgrounds. There were just two changes to the starting line up from Saturday's 2-0 win at Dungannon; Kym Nelson came in at left back for Ross Redman and James Knowles started in midfield in place of Eoghan McCawl.

To mark the 40th anniversary of our European Cup tie against Juventus a special edition of the Glentoran Gazette goes on sale at our game against Cliftonville on Saturday. Our design wizard Clifford Logan has replicated the cover of the Gazette from that night back in 1977 and in the same vein the Bard of Ballymacarrett, Sam Robinson, tells the first part of his tale of reuniting one of those 1970s heroes, Rab McCreery, with his shirt from that memorable night.
