Glentoran produced one of their best performances of the season to fight back and earn a credible point against South Belfast rivals Linfield in the annual Boxing Day fixture. Glentoran having not won the Big Two festive derby at The National Stadium since 1972 went into the game low on confidence following back to back league defeats to Ballymena and Ballinamallard Utd.
The following outlets have tickets left for todays game:
The Streat Ballyhackamore - Approximately 30
Spar Holywood Road - Approximately 90
Spar Ravenhill Road - Small number of concessions but no adult tickets
All other outlets have sold out.

Massive thank you to Jodie Killops for coordinating this on behalf of the club

Steven Gordon's red card proved to be the turning point as Glentoran slipped to ninth place in the Danske Bank Premiership. The Glens had probably shaded the first half and certainly had the best of the chances but a moment of madness, as the players left the field at the interval, ultimately cost Glentoran the game.
