Barry Johnston believes Glentoran have found a solution to their "soft underbelly" with the signing of James Singleton during the summer.
Singleton has thrived in a central midfield role with the Glens this season to help Mick McDermott's men surge to the top of the Premiership.
The early signs are promising as Glentoran look to claim a first league title since 2009, and Lisburn Distillery boss Johnston says time will tell if they can mount a genuine challenge.
