Glentoran supporters turned out in great numbers to watch their team battle to a 2-2 draw against Gzira United

Glentoran boss Warren Feeney wants to get The BetMcLean Oval ‘rocking’ for this week’s Europa Conference League clash with Gzira United.

The east Belfast men are in with a great chance to progress to the Second Qualifying Round having battled out a 2-2 result in Malta on Thursday.

After missing an early penalty kick when Junior blazed over, the Glens did forge ahead when the ex-Derry City striker made up for his miss by heading home a cross from new boy Dáire O’Connor.

Although Gzira hit back with strikes from Wilkson and Brooklyn Borg, the Glens finished strongly and O’Connor plundered a valuable late equaliser.

It means Glentoran are in a strong position for the home leg, knowing that victory would earn them a money-spinning outing against Luxembourg’s Dudelange or St Patrick’s Athletic, who trail 2-1 ahead of the Richmond Park return clash.

“It’s only half-time, we want to get the Oval rocking,” beamed Feeney, whose team were hit with horrible travel difficulties on their return from Malta.

“We intend to take the game to them, especially with a big Oval crowd behind us. Gzira now know what we are about, and we know all about them as well.

“It’s now up to us. We are not going to sit back, we are going to go for them – that’s the way we are going to be at home.

“It should be a great night for us. I want the fans out in big numbers.

“We are on our home ground; we know European matches are difficult games of
