Duncan Ferguson will have to wait to start life in the Glentoran dugout after a waterlogged pitch forced the Ballymena United game off.
Duncan Ferguson's first match as Glentoran manager will not happen as planned. The game against Ballymena United has been postponed because the pitch is waterlogged and unplayable.
The former Everton striker was set to make his competitive bow in the dugout, and the buzz around his arrival will have to simmer a little longer. Instead of a debut on the touchline, he is left waiting while the groundstaff and the weather decide the schedule.
Postponements like this are an unwelcome headache for any new manager. Ferguson loses a chance to see his ideas tested in a real match, and he must keep his squad sharp and focused through an unexpected break.
Ballymena United are also left in limbo, with the fixture needing a new date. For now, Glentoran fans must hold their excitement, and Ferguson's first competitive game in charge is still to come.
