Glentoran 1 - 0 Portadown
Glentoran are set to take on Portadown in the first Co-Operative Insurance League Cup semi-final at Windsor Park on Tuesday night.

The Glens will be keen to bounce back following their league defeat at the Coleraine Showgrounds on Saturday, as Bannsiders striker Rory Patterson bagged a hat-trick just a few months before joining the east Belfast club.

Coleraine have now completed a league double over Champions Glentoran and go into Wednesday's CIS Cup semi-final with Dungannon Swifts in buoyant mood.

The Swifts, meanwhile, denied Crusaders the league top spot on Saturday thanks to their 3-2 win at Seaview.

In a thrilling finish to the game, the Crues equalised in added time to make the score 2-2 but five minutes into stoppage time Neil McCafferty drilled in a sensational winner from 20 yards.

Crusaders' defeat meant Cliftonville went top of the league for the first time this season after beating Institute 3-0 on Saturday.

The Reds will look to enhance their position at the top as they welcome Institute again on Tuesday night.

Eighth-placed Glenavon face Newry City at Mourneview Park, with only three points separating the sides.
