Devine delighted with 'massive win' for Glentoran

Glentoran manager Declan Devine says it was a "huge three points" for his side after defeating Carrick Rangers 1-0 at the Oval.

MJ Kamson-Kamara netted seven minutes from time to clinch victory for the dominant hosts.

The win moves the east Belfast side up to second in the Premiership standings and five points behind leaders Larne.

"It's a massive win, because we would have been really frustrated if it ended 0-0 or even worse," said Devine.

"We were relentless in our pursuit of the goal, which also left us a bit open on the counter-attack.

"The pleasing thing for me was that we never got frustrated, we kept going right to the end.

"I said to the lads at half-time that it might go to the last 10-15 minutes and I was right - it's getting that first goal, which is really difficult against a low block.

"We 100% deserved the victory and that's testimony to the players. I's a huge three points."
