In a game that had everything at the Oval on Wednesday night, Glentoran and Crusaders played out an enthralling 2-2 draw that included one of the best goals ever to grace the hallowed east Belfast turf. After what can only be described as a shockingly bad performance against Coleraine on Saturday, manager Eddie Patterson made several changes to the starting line-up with Barry Holland, David Scullion, Kym Nelson and Conor McMenamin all coming in to a 4-4-2 formation.

On Wednesday 5th August, Belfast's Lord Mayor, Councillor Arder Carson, held a reception in the City Hall in recognition of Glentoran's Irish Cup win.
The reception was attended by Glentoran President, David Chick, Chairman Stephen Henderson, members of the board, club officials, staff and players. A number of representatives from various political parties were also in attendance.
Glentoran's Danske Bank Premiership campaign got off to a poor start with a 1-nil defeat at Coleraine. It might have been different had referee Hetherington awarded the Glens a penalty in the opening minute when Curtis Allen went down in the area under a challenge from David Ogilby but the official waved away the appeals. On 7 minutes Elliott Morris made a fine save, tipping Garth Falconer's 25 yard effort over the bar. Glentoran were restricted to half chances by both a resolute Coleraine back line and by some very poor passing.
The 2015-16 Danske Bank Premiership gets underway on Saturday and Glentoran's campaign starts with a trip to the Coleraine Showgrounds.
In the past 3 seasons the two clubs have met 10 times in the Premiership with both winning 2 games each. The other 6 games have been drawn.

Tickets will be on sale from the Superstore during the usual opening hours (HERE) this Thursday 6th August and Saturday 8th August, and at our home game against Crusaders on 12th August.
