Tigers aim to keep title rivals at a distance

GLASGOW are aiming to keep their SGB Championship title rivals at a distance during a huge weekend of SGB Championship action.

The Tigers host Newcastle tpnight, with their two closest challengers at the top – Scunthorpe and Edinburgh – also racing in home fixtures.

Those two sides, along with fourth-placed Leicester, race again tomorrow as the league table begins to take shape.

A win for Glasgow would ensure they remain at least three points clear at the summit for a minimum of 24 hours.

Cami Brown’s side are looking to bounce back from a late defeat away to Eastbourne on Sunday in front of a limited number of fans at the Peugeot Ashfield Stadium.

Brown says the backing of the supporters has been a huge boost.

He said: “The response we’ve had from the fans this season has been incredible.

“The fact we had a group of them coming all the way to Eastbourne on Sunday proves that we’ve got some of the best in the country. I personally thanked them at the end of the meeting for their brilliant backing, despite a tough meeting.

“It’s been a real buzz for me to see supporters inside the stadium again on a Friday night and I know the boys get a real boost from it.

“Meetings like Eastbourne where you lose late on are always hard at the time, but on reflection we fought well and came close at a very tricky track.

“I’ve said all along that if we can all click at once we can give someone a real going over – hopefully we can set the tone for the rest of our season by doing that against Newcastle tomorrow night.”

Connor Bailey makes his second home debut after his return to the club.
