Glentoran boss Mick McDermott insists the Mersey Street club was “right to fight” their Irish Cup expulsion through the Irish FA’s arbitration process.
He also says the “threat" of substantial financial expense for pursuing an appeal shouldn’t be used as a potential deterrent to Irish League clubs seeking future rulings.
It was reported last week that the Glens face a hefty legal bill after losing their arbitration case over the Joe Crowe eligibility affair.
