Glentoran fans fear the Big Two giants risk being expelled from the Samuel Gelston's Irish Cup after the club’s place in the semi-final was thrown into doubt over a player eligibility issue.
It has been reported that Joe Crowe, who featured in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Newry City in the last eight of the blue riband competition at the BetMcLean Oval, wasn’t free to play in the tie.
Crowe was hit with a three-game suspension for ‘serious foul play’ three weeks ago while playing for Glentoran's reserve team against Linfield Swifts on February 14.
