Glentoran's strong start to the season is down to their summer recruitment, according to manager Declan Devine. The Glens sit second in the Irish Premiership table, with a recent form of LDWWD.

What has driven Glentoran's success?

The addition of players like Pat Hoban, Jordan Stewart, and Ryan Cooney has raised standards at the club.

Devine believes the new recruits have been key to their success, with many of them having a winning mentality. The club's goal difference of +33, with 63 scored and 30 conceded, is a testament to their strong squad.

How do Glentoran plan to maintain their momentum?

Glentoran will hope to record a second win against Portadown this season, as they look to keep pace with leaders Larne, who they trail by 4 points. The Glens have lost just one of their 11 league games so far this campaign.

What challenges lie ahead for Glentoran?

The Glens face a tough test against Portadown, who have recorded impressive wins over Cliftonville and champions Linfield. Devine is wary of the threat they pose on the counter attack, with players like Rayhaan Tulloch and James Teelan.
