Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Glentoran boss Declan Devine to be concerned about from a near full-strength set of players. Josh Kelly (Cruciate ligament injury) is sidelined.

We envisage that Cliftonville are capable enough to break down this Glentoran lineup, however that probably won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.
We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 win for Glentoran after the 90. Let’s see what eventuates.
