Glentoran coach Rodney McAree has warned the Big Two giants that Dungannon Swifts will offer a “different challenge” on their new 4G pitch on Tuesday night.
Over the summer, the Swifts became the fifth Irish League club in recent times - alongside Coleraine, Larne, Crusaders and Cliftonville - to install an artificial surface.
And while Dean Shiels’ men lost 2-0 to Ballymena United on their new synthetic turf at the weekend, McAree is bracing himself for a “very tough game” at Stangmore Park.
