AFTER all of last weekend’s Irish Premiership games were cancelled due to Storm Darragh, Friday night football returns with Crusaders taking on Glentoran.

Crusaders will hope that they can leapfrog their opponents with a win and could go as high as third place if other results this weekend play out.

Glentoran have similar ambitions ahead of this Friday night’s game, as they currently sit in 5th, needing three points to go level with second-placed Cliftonville.

Last time out, Crusaders held third-placed Dungannon Swifts to a 2-2 draw at Seaview thanks to goals from Forsythe and Offord.

The Glens also drew last time out, being held to a 2-2 draw against Loughgall at Lakeview Park thanks to an early goal from Dylan Connolly and a second-half Charlie Lindsay strike after a squared ball into the box.

When and where is the Irish Premiership game between Crusaders and Glentoran taking place?

Crusaders will play Glentoran at Seaview in North Belfast on Friday, December 13.

Where can I watch the Crusaders v Glentoran game?

The game will be broadcast on BBC Two NI and on BBC iPlayer.
