Recent debutant Theo McToal is Beth Stafford’s Gazette cover star for tomorrow’s second meeting with Big Two rivals Linfield within eight days. Manager Declan Devine calls for a much more positive approach this time out and welcomes David Fisher and Seanan Clucas back to the squad. Appropriately for this Big Two clash Roy Downes recalls a trip across the city on the 60th anniversary of one of our most stunning victories while Henry Muldrew has a look at derbies worldwide. In fact it’s double Muldrew this week as he also takes us back to the Seventies and his teenage obsession with Argentina…and Olivia Newton-John. The 1923 Committee bemoan the disjointed end to the pre-split fixtures, John Grayden looks at the race for promotion from the Championship and William James has a look at how things are shaping up south of the border. We cover the return to the Oval of members of the famous European Cup Winners’ Cup quarter final side of 1974 at our last Premiership game, Brian McClelland has the second part of the story of his latest Brylcreem Boy, Paddy McCann, and of course Norman Ternahan and Tommy Sewell dissect all the latest on the pitch in words and pictures. Plus This Week Then, news from around the Oval and all the stats. Your multi-award winning Glentoran Gazette, by the fans and for the fans, is just £4.
