PREVIEW: GLASGOW v REDCAR (C-KOC)

REDCAR defend a 16-point lead at Glasgow tonight (Tuesday) as the sides battle for a place in the last four of the Championship KO Cup.

The Bears impressed in their home leg last Friday and are now looking to complete the job, with Richie Worrall booked to guest at No.1 for the still-absent Erik Riss.

Connor Bailey and Danyon Hume, who were both members of last year’s Glasgow team, make their first returns to Ashfield since switching to the Teesside outfit over the winter.

The home side are without Benjamin Basso who suffered a hand injury at Peterborough on Monday, and Justin Sedgmen comes in to guest.

Tigers captain Tom Brennan said: “The boys all reckon we can do it. If they can do it to us, we can do it to them.

“It won’t be easy. They have got riders who know Ashfield really well. But we are fired-up.

“We know the Tigers fans will make it loud all night and get behind us, we really need that.

“It’s a mountain to climb but such a massive incentive to get a result. The spirit in the squad is so good and we are pumped for this.”

Redcar’s Jason Edwards said: “Everyone is going really well at the moment. Charles (Wright) and Danny (King) are obviously steering us from the front, and it was nice to see Danyon and Connor score some good points against Glasgow.

“Both of the boys won’t want to be getting beaten by their old club! Connor must be really chuffed with his last meeting for Redcar as he beat Chris Harris, and Danyon will be looking forward to going back.”

GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Marcin Nowak, Justin Sedgmen, Claus Vissing, Tom Brennan, Lee Complin, Ace Pijper.
REDCAR: Richie Worrall, Danyon Hume, Charles Wright, Connor Bailey, Danny King, Jason Edwards, Jake Mulford.
