Boxing Day ended in more disappointment and frustration for the sell-out Glentoran support today as a last minute winner from Eetu Vertainen gave Linfield all three points at the Bet McLean Oval to continue the Glens’ recent dismal run of results.
Monday 26th December 2022
Kick Off 2.00pm
Tomorrow afternoon we meet Linfield for the third time in six weeks and the fourth time this season, hoping for our second Danske Bank Premiership win after two very disappointing intervening defeats in cup semi finals
In the Boxing Day Glentoran Gazette Mick McDermott says conceding a late goal at Cliftonville was frustrating, especially in the manner it was conceded, but admits we need to be more ruthless in front of goal. And he adds that the team needs to use the League Cup defeat by Linfield as motivation for the derby game. Ahead of the Big Two Christmas clash Jamie Megarry and Matthew Brown agree that it is a game which can make or break the holiday for fans.
Glentoran Football Club would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday weekend and a very Merry Christmas.!
Boxing Day will see our traditional Match against Linfield as an opportunity to showcase all that is good about Irish League football, and in particular the wider Glentoran Community.
We hope that those spectators, lucky enough to get a ticket for the game, will enjoy a competitive match, one played in the tradition of sporting rivalry and sportsmanship.
The 12th man will have a massive role to play on the day.

Glentoran’s miserable run of results continued tonight a deflected goal eleven minutes from time led to our second 0-1 loss to Cliftonville in a month and our fourth consecutive league defeat to the same opposition in 2022.
There were four changes from the Bet McLean Cup defeat to Linfield; fit again Paddy McClean returned as a straight swap for the injured Aidan Wilson. Seanan Clucas made a very welcome first start of the season in place of Hrvoje Plum. Sean Murray replaced Ally Roy and Rory Donnelly returned after two games out injured with brother Jay moving to the bench.
