The supporters were still in full voice when they struck again nine minutes later. Jay Donnelly was hauled down by a clumsy challenge from Reece Glendinning and, when Plum whipped in the free-kick, Wilson got up above everyone else to power home with a flick of his head. Hrvoje Plum’s in-swinging corner from the left forced Glendinning into action after only three minutes, the big goalkeeper going full-length to punch clear before Jay Donnelly blasted a great chance over the top following great work on the left by McCartan.īut McDermott’s team did forge ahead on 15 minutes. The Glens had their foot on the gas right from the off. Rangers chief Stuart King made wholesale changes to the side that crashed 6-0 to Cliftonville, drafting in goalkeeper Ross Glendinning, Steven Gordon, Andy Mitchell, Emmett McGuckin, Curtis Allen and Lloyd Anderson. Even more impressive is the fact they have conceded merely one goal.Īfter the six-goal hammering of Warrenpoint Town in the League Cup in midweek, McDermott was forced into one change with goalkeeper Oliver Webber handed a competitive debut, replacing Aaron McCarey. Glentoran are now unbeaten in 10 games, and they have won the last nine.

They haven’t had their hands on the Gibson Cup since 2009, during the reign of the late Alan McDonald, but things could be about to change - they are now up to second in the Danske Bank Premiership table. The east Belfast club was celebrating its 140th anniversary to the day, and they did it with a bit of panache.ĭefender Aidan Wilson, Jay Donnelly, McCartan, Conor McMenamin and Paddy McClean were on the score sheet as Mick McDermott’s boys hardened their challenge at the top end of the Danske Bank Premiership table. Shay McCartan last night helped light the candles on Glentoran’s birthday cake by producing a superb showing against Carrick Rangers at the BetMcLean Oval.
