Ferguson Secures First Win as Glentoran Manager

Given a mixed start to the season, a serious challenge for the Irish Premiership title may prove difficult.

Still, if Glentoran are to have any hope of winning the Gibson Cup since 2009, it is important that they keep pace with the sides above them.

Leaders Linfield and their nearest challengers, Coleraine, both recorded comfortable victories on Friday, while Larne bounced back from a poor run to beat Dungannon Swifts.

Glentoran are 14 points off the leaders but have a game in hand, and they face another tough home test against Cliftonville next Friday as they seek to build on their win over the Seasiders.

Reflecting on his start to the league, Ferguson admitted: “I think we need to get better overall.”

“We are not conceding many goals, but we have to create more.”

“That is the hardest part of the game, but we look solid and that is the main thing.”

“I am happy with the group, and the league is very close from top to bottom.”

With that in mind, especially as he continues his early steps in the league, Ferguson said it is just “one game at a time” rather than thinking too far ahead.

“We have to keep going,” he added.

“I think that is seven or eight games undefeated now.”

“We have to keep going and keep winning. We are a big club and the fans want us to keep winning, and I am glad we got the three points for them today.”
