Keenan set to join Glens on loan

Goalkeeper Chris Keenan is set to come to Glentoran's rescue by signing on an emergency loan deal for Saturday's game against Portadown at the Oval.

Keenan, who has been transfer-listed by Larne, has been given special dispensation to sign for the Glens outside the transfer window periods.

Both of Glentoran's two goalkeepers were injured against Cliftonville.

Elliott Morris suffered a thigh injury while Michael Dougherty sustained a fractured wrist in Friday night's game.

Goalkeeper Chris Keenan has been put on the transfer list by Larne manager Graham McConnell.

McConnell suspended Keenan for two weeks ahead of Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Cliftonville but a further indiscretion has led to him being made available.

The 21-year-old's absence has opened the door for Alex Spackman, who is now in his second spell with the club.

Spackman produced a fine display against the Reds and is set to face Armagh City at Holm Park on Saturday.
