Boss wants Carrick to bounce back
Rangers face a tough test at Glentoran in the Carling Premiership this weekend and the men in Amber and Black will be out to banish the memories of the recent County Antrim Shield encounter when a youthful Glens outfit showed great potential in a comfortable 5-2 win.
Carrick, of course, will be hoping for a happier visit to east Belfast on Saturday afternoon but while boss Small is under no illusions of the difficulty of the task ahead he knows a positive result could help his side climb the table.

“Going to The Oval is not the sort of assignment where you can expect to get points – and they are smarting from a turn-over (against Portadown) last Saturday. But, we must get out there and work our socks off. And if we do that we might just cause an upset.”
