Glentoran's 2024-25 season in review
- Published
2024-25 League position: 3rd
Player of the season: Daniel Gyollai
January's County Antrim Shield success yielded the Glens' first piece of silverware in five years but, in a season that promised so much more, ultimately that proved the undisputed highlight.
At the time of their penalty shootout Shield win over Larne, Declan Devine's men were already into the decider of the BetMcLean Cup and semi-finals of the Irish Cup.
They would lose both, to Cliftonville and Bangor respectively, and slip from second to third in the season's final weeks, ultimately missing out on European football for a second season in succession thanks to a play-off semi-final defeat.
Four wins over champions Linfield showed what they are capable of on their day, but they will need to find greater consistency and attacking threat next season.
Already, however, they know that they will lose some key players over the summer.
