Linfield vs Glentoran in the BetMcLean Cup final at the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park will mark the first time in 16 years the ‘Big Two’ have met in the final of a knockout cup competition – raising the stakes for Sunday’s showpiece.
Linfield are aiming to lift the trophy for a 13th time, while seven-time winners Glentoran are chasing their first BetMcLean Cup success since 2010 after losing last year’s final to Cliftonville. The rivals have met three times in the Premiership this season, with each side recording a 1-0 victory at Windsor Park alongside a draw at the Oval.
Glentoran midfielder Cameron Palmer said his team is motivated to turn last year’s disappointment – a defeat in the final – into a positive memory for supporters. He also added that February’s loss to Linfield will have little bearing on the final.
Interestingly, this BetMcLean Cup final will also see VAR used for the first time in Northern Ireland domestic football. Read on as we outline how you can watch Linfield vs Glentoran online for free from anywhere in the world.
