Shelbourne name unchanged side

Glentoran boss Roy Coyle shook up his strike-force for the second leg of the Champions League first qualifying round clash with Shelbourne at Tolka Park tonight.

Coyle gambled on an entirely new forward line of Michael Halliday and Chris Morgan for the task of erasing the home side’s 2-1 first leg advantage and taking the Belfast side to a next round meeting with Steaua Bucharest.

Stephen Parkhouse and Jody Tolan were the pair to give way while Coyle also called Peter McCann up into midfield in place of Kevin Keegan.

Shels boss Pat Fenlon remained faithful to all his forwards despite their failure to capitalise on a dominant display with a flurry of goals at Glentoran last week.

Fenlon named an unchanged side including the first leg’s two-goal hero Jason Byrne.
