Gary Haveron believes Larne have added a steely resolve to their free-flowing reputation this season.
The Inver Reds have always been easy on the eye with their fluid brand of football, but have sometimes been accused of having a soft underbelly when it comes to physical showdowns in the Irish Premiership.
Last week's penalty shootout win over Linfield in the Irish Cup was further evidence of a side rising to the challenge this season, and Haveron hopes Larne carry that confidence into Friday night's league clash with Glenavon.
