It's now 10 games in the Danske Bank Premiership without a win for Glentoran and we now sit in 9th place in the table.
Manager Ronnie McFall opted to keep the same formation as had been used in recent weeks with just Curtis Allen up front against a side sitting 10th in the Premiership standings!

Saturday 29th December 2018, Kick Off 3.00pm
On Saturday we welcome League Champions Crusaders for the second time this month in what is already our fourth meeting of the season, and the third meeting at the Oval. Not an easy game by any standards so the team will all need to lift their game after our dismal performance on Boxing Day.
Glentoran against Glenavon has been selected as the next Sky Sports live Danske Bank Premiership match. The match originally scheduled to be played on 15th February will now be played on Monday 18th February, 7.45PM kick off.
John McGuigan's contract has been cancelled and he has left the club. John's wage, along with wages already freed up and any others freed up during the transfer window, will be made available to the manager to strengthen the playing squad.
The Glentoran Under 20s gave the club at least some positive news today with an outstanding 3-2 victory over Linfield at the Oval.
With regulars Paul O'Neill, James McCarthy, Nigel Prentice, Jack Henderson and Mal Smith with the first team squad, the Wee Glens started as serious underdogs but goals from Ben Cushnie, Sean Wallace and Ross Tharma secured the victory.
A full report will appear on the U20s News page.
