Coyle hoping experience will see Glens through

THE last Sunday in September is still some way off but the luck of the European draw has produced an All Ireland final at the height of summer, with Glentoran playing host to Shelbourne in a Champions League qualifier at The Oval this evening (7pm).

However, Glentoran manager Roy Coyle is anxious that the fixture be seen in its proper perspective.

"The one thing we have to do is not get carried away," he said. "This is a European fixture, it is not North versus South, it is not the Setanta Cup. It's a European adventure, and we have got to apply ourselves the way we normally do for European football."
