Good news for Glentoran fans ahead of Saturday’s Samuel Gelston’s Irish Cup tie with Queen’s University at the Dub.
The Oval club has revealed it has reached agreement with the Championship outfit to stream live coverage of the last-16 tie on Performa Sports.

The development is welcome news for Glens fans who were set to miss out on seeing the Big Two giants in the second round of the competition.
The Dub has a limited capacity and is unable to accommodate the large numbers of supporters who were eager to attend the tie.
The Glens, who lie top of the Danske Bank Premiership, last visited The Dub in 2020 when they beat the Students 3-2 in the last-16 thanks to a hat-trick from Robbie McDaid.
Mick McDermott’s men went on to lift the blue riband trophy that season, albeit at a later date in July due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Glens boss McDermott said: “The Irish Cup is always a massive priority for us, both as a prestigious trophy to be won and also a route into Europe.”
Coverage of Saturday’s game, which has a 1.30pm kick-off, will be filmed by David Kerr of GlensTV.
