Glentoran preview 26-27: Glens must build on steady progress
Glentoran is preparing for the 2026-27 season after a disappointing end to the previous campaign despite remaining in the title race. The club is looking to fill gaps left by departing players and improve their performance in domestic cup competitions.
Why it matters

Despite Glentoran showing plenty of signs of progress, the 2025-26 season ended with a sense of unfinished business.
After winning their first silverware in five years the previous campaign, Glentoran fans will be frustrated last campaign ended without a trophy.
However, two big positives for the Glens were that they remained in the title race for the majority of the season and secured a European spot.
They also finished runners-up in the League Cup but were knocked out of the Irish Cup and the County Antrim Shield at the quarter-final stages.
