Match Report

TTA report

Glens started the sharper and Thistle took some time to get into their stride. The 1st goal came from slack defending early in the second half. McLean missed a couple of good chances before he scored on 87 minutes when he poked the ball over the line from a corner. A fair result.

Media report

22-Jul-2001, The People

GLENS MAY GO FOR AFRICANS. THERE could be two new Africanstars in the Glentoran line-up in the new season after two mystery men appeared in yesterday's pre-season friendly against Partick Thistle. Manager Roy Coylepulled off a surprise by not naming the two men on the teamsheet before sending them into action at half-time. Tim McCann and Darren Fitzgerald were replaced by Ramould Mandela and Sin Turay. Mandela is a former Cameroon U21 international and lists CSKA Sofia among his previous clubs. Turay is believed to come from Zaire and had a spell with English non-league side Margate recently. “They have come over and trained with us this week. We had a look at them today and anything is possible,” said Coyle. Darren Armour marked his Glentoran debut with the opening goal. As fatigue set in the Glens let Partick in for an equaliser they scaresly deserved. Steven Craigan's long throw from the left was back heeled in by Scott McLean three minutes from time.
