A late equaliser from Coleraine saw the points shared at the Showgrounds this afternoon. Eddie Patterson made three changes after last week’s home defeat to Glenavon with Fra McCaffrey, Marcus Kane and Kym Nelson all taking their place in the starting eleven in place of Jordan Stewart, Steven McCullough and Niall Henderson.
There are just four games remaining in the Danske Bank Premiership before the 'split' and in the first of those Glentoran travel to the Coleraine Showgrounds.
The Glens currently occupy fifth place in the table with Coleraine some 8 points behind in seventh. A win for Glentoran would virtually confirm their 'top six' status.

Academy off on Tour
The coming half term school holiday week sees three of our Academy teams head off to England/ Scotland to play challenge matches against professional clubs.
Glentoran will be glad to see the back of Glenavon for a few weeks after another tough result to take over the Lurgan Blues this afternoon at The Oval. Following a row over Gary Hamilton's eligibility for the last meeting between the sides at The Oval which stretched on into the New Year, the rejection of Glentoran's appeal left a sour taste in particular with both teams being so tight in the table.
It's match day 29 and Glentoran and Glenavon meet in the Danske Bank Premiership at the Oval on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off.
The Halfers rollover prize from our last home game against Armagh City is still unclaimed. The winning ticket number was 7153 with a prize of £795. If this is not claimed by 3pm this Saturday, 14th February, then the Halfers prize for the game against Glenavon will be a DOUBLE ROLLOVER with a potential prize of over £1000.
Glentoran boss, Eddie Patterson, made just one change to the team which defeated Armagh City in the Irish Cup last Saturday; David Scullion coming into the starting eleven with Danny McKee dropping to the bench.
Midfielder David Scullion has signed a 2-year extension to his contract. Scullion, who is the second highest appearance maker in the current Glentoran squad behind Elliott Morris, put pen to paper at the weekend. David is currently on 127 appearances for the club and has scored 31 goals, includine 9 this season so far.
