Duncan Ferguson celebrated a first win as Glentoran manager on Friday night – 25 days since his arrival in Irish League football by the former Everton caretaker manager.

Having kicked off Premiership life with away draws against Coleraine and Carrick Rangers, Ferguson was introduced to his home fans at last with the visit by Bangor.

And he marked the first home appearance in charge of the Glens with a first win in charge of the Glens thanks to the 2-1 triumph.

Jordan Stewart – scorer of the sole goal under the Ferguson era before Friday to salvage a share of the spoils against Coleraine – made his mark inside the opening half-hour of play under the Oval floodlights.

Ben Cushnie left it level with a late Bangor equaliser but Academy graduate Cal Weatherup stepped off the sidelines to slot home the decisive goal on 87 minutes.

Here’s a selection of comments from fans across social media:

Pete Davis: Get in Dunc’s team.

Paul Hughes: Well Big Dunc getting your first win at home – from a Everton fan.

Allister Moore: Started well and hit the brakes as soon as we took the lead. They hit long balls and we struggled to push the line up the pitch. Always got to set out to take 3 points but we still need to get the ball moving forward quicker and crisper.

Liam Brady: Unbeaten in 3…

Neal Megrath: Hard watch but a win.

William Robinson: Got to start somewhere.

Lawrence Henderson: Win in the end although football awful and a cold night my feet starting to thaw out. Onwards and upwards COYG.

Danny Martin: Well done Big Dunc’s men.

Marcos McMarcos: A very welcome 3 points but it was another really boring, hard to watch game.

@TheGlensVoice: A win’s a win, big improvement needed however.
