Crusaders hope to carry on where they left off in the first game of the Danske Bank Premiershipt season when we travel the short distance to The Oval in East Belfast to play Glentoran on Friday night (7.45pm) The 5-1 win against Dungannon Swifts was the perfect start but Stephen Baxter will know that Glentoran will be a completely different challenge and will plan accordingly. Glentoran started their campaign with a low key 0-0 draw with Larne last Friday night and manager Mick McDermott will demand more from his “big money” assembled squad.
Crusaders and Glentoran met four times last year with both sides winning 2 each.
