In Tuesday night’s Glentoran Gazette Rodney McAree reveals he was disappointed at only picking up one point on Saturday despite a wonder goal from Conor McMenamin which put us in the driving seat close to the end of the game at Coleraine and adds that he views tonight’s Big Two derby as a tough task against a talented and physically strong Linfield team. Meanwhile, Jamie Megarry says Linfield are coming into the game with their tails up after a big win over Cliftonville.
