Danny Amos says the team spirit in the Glentoran camp is a big factor in their recent success.

The Glens have been one of the form teams in the Irish Premiership over the last month and are unbeaten in their last 10 games. The mood is high at The Oval after they made it through to the BetMcLean Cup final following their semi-final win over Crusaders in midweek.

They also have the chance to get their hands on a first piece of silverware since 2020 when they take on Larne in the Co Antrim Shield final on Tuesday night. They face the Invermen in a crucial league game at The Oval this afternoon and Amos said everyone is pulling together to bring success to the club.

“Since joining Glentoran, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my football," said the former Doncaster Rovers, Port Vale, and Grimsby Town defender. "The atmosphere around the club is incredible, and the support from the fans, staff, and my teammates has made settling in effortless.

“Playing in such a competitive league has improved my game a lot and I’ve been delighted to contribute with goals and assists. The coaching staff have been brilliant in helping me develop different areas of my game and the intensity of this league challenges me to improve every week.

“What really stands out is the togetherness in this squad. We’re not just teammates - we’re friends off the pitch as well. Whether it’s training, travelling or spending time together, there’s a real sense of unity. Everyone is pulling in the same direction, fighting for success and aiming to bring silverware back to the Oval.”

Amos is relishing the opportunity to take on the double league champions, who have won both meetings so far this season, as he feels they are in a better place now.

“We’re on a great run of form, having gone ten games unbeaten across all competitions and secured places in two cup finals," said the 25-year-old. "That speaks volumes about the hard work, determination, and belief within this squad. The confidence in the dressing room is sky-high, and the momentum we’ve built has been outstanding.

“That said, Larne are a quality side, and we’re under no illusions about the challenge they’ll bring. They’ve beaten us twice this season and are double league champions for a reason. We’ll need to be at our very best to take all three points this weekend.

“But this is a different Glentoran team compared to earlier in the season. Mentally, we’re stronger, playing with belief, and genuinely feel we can compete with and beat anyone in this league.

“Declan [Devine], Tim [McCann], Elliott [Morris], and Paddy [McCourt] have instilled a winning mentality throughout the squad, and there’s a clear understanding of what’s expected at a big club like Glentoran. Saturday is an opportunity to show how far we’ve come and prove our progress as a team.”
