Marty Quinn is aiming to pile the agony on Glentoran — by knocking the east-Belfast side out of the Co-Operative Insurance Cup.

The Glens are looking for a response to Saturday's 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Coleraine and if they are hoping for a comforting arm around the shoulder then Mourneview Park is the wrong place to go to.

Glenavon manager Quinn has tunnel vision and wants to send the Glenmen back down the M1 from Lurgan pondering an exit from the competition.

“I don't want to motivate Glentoran, but do I want to make things worse for them? Of course I do,” said Quinn.

“I have a lot of sympathy for their manager Alan McDonald, he is a top guy and a good manager, but we'll be out to increase the pressure I'm afraid.

“We want to progress in the competition, take Glenavon into the quarter-finals and that is what our focus is on. What the consequences are for Glentoran doesn't really concern us.”

The teams are locked at 2-2 from the first-leg at The Oval 10 days ago, when Glentoran had to respond from going 2-0 down before half-time.

And the Glens know they won't get it easy at Mourneview Park, as they themselves threw away a two goal lead there in a league game a few weeks ago, before going home with only a point.

Elliott Morris scored a bizarre own-goal that night, but he won't be in the team tonight as he begins a two-match suspension — and that causes even more problems for the Glens as back-up goalkeeper James Taylor is less than 100 per cent fit, but is expected to play anyway.

Captain Paul Leeman should return to the line-up, along with strikers Gary Hamilton and Michael Halliday.
