Derry City at The Oval to take on Glentoran

Derry City travel to Belfast tonight for a re-arranged pre-season friendly against Glentoran (kick-off 7.45pm).

The original game, scheduled to take place earlier this month, was postponed due to the pitch at The Oval being waterlogged.

Former Dundalk and Sligo Rovers winger, Keith Ward, is expected to line out for City after playing just over an hour in the Candy Stripes’ one-nil defeat at Sligo Rovers on Saturday night last.

Manager Kenny Shiels (pictured) has made no secret of his desire to add Ward to his squad.

“I thought he did well,” Shiels said after Saturday’s game. “He plays intelligently and he links it up and he gives us something. I just have to sit down with him now and talk with. I just want him to relax and play first then we’ll look at the terms and things like that.”
