Boss unsure how new-look Larne will fare
The former Glentoran boss found himself unable to even guess how his team will get on in Championship 1. But, the former international player insists that he's comforted by the fact that every player at Inver Park is there because he wants to wear the red of Larne.
"Normally, I am happy to make a forecast as how my team will do in the season ahead, but such are things with the club right now, I haven't the faintest idea. My ambition is that we will win more matches than we lose," said Millar.
