With only a point required for glory, Ryan settled any nerves in the visiting ranks when he found the net after 12 minutes, nipping in front of the Crues defence to poke the ball past Jonny Tuffey from a Michael Glynn cross.
The game then turned even further in Larne’s favour before half-time when home skipper Billy Joe Burns was shown a straight red card after throwing the ball at Shaun Want, which is set to rule him out of their Irish Cup final showdown with Ballymena United next month.
