Larne manager lists four players

Goalkeeper Chris Keenan has been listed by Larne

Larne manager Graham McConnell has been forced to place four players on the transfer list because of financial cutbacks at the Inver Park club.

Goalkeeper Chris Keenan, former Lisburn Distillery pair Andrew Dickson and Damien McLaughlin and ex-Donegal Celtic man Noel Corrigan are all up for sale.

Larne will play in the second tier of Irish League football next season.

The East Antrim club failed to acquire a domestic licence to compete in the IFA's new Invitational Premier League.

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.
