CAMI Brown says all Glasgow’s thoughts are with stricken star Ulrich Ostergaard after he crashed out of tonight’s Scottish derby win over Edinburgh.
The Dane was the Tigers’ top scorer heading into heat 15 at Armadale, as they looked to hold on to a two-point lead.
Ostergaard had a heavy fall on the first bend and the meeting was eventually abandoned due to a lack of medical cover, with the 40-year-old taken to hospital after complaining of back pain.
The 43-41 win hands three points to Glasgow in the SGB Championship, but team manager Brown admits that comes second to his rider’s wellbeing.
He said: “I thought the team were absolutely magnificent tonight and Ulrich was the star man.
“The incident in heat 15 just shows how dangerous the sport is and puts everything into perspective.
“Over the piece I think we deserved to win, but we didn’t want it to happen in that manner.
“In the end I don’t care about the three points and topping the league, I just hope Ulrich is OK, and all our thoughts are with him tonight.
“It’s a sickener because we asked them to give it 100% and they did it – Ulrich took that on board as he always does.
“Ulrich is a real personal friend of mine and has been for many years, so it’s a really difficult one, and we just hope the lad is OK.”
The sides meet again at Ashfield on Sunday in the race for the play-offs.
More news will be made available about Ulrich’s condition in due course.
