SAM Jensen says Glasgow have made a “big statement” after a convincing win over rivals Leicester put them straight into the Championship play-off semi-finals.
The Tigers repeated their 49-41 scoreline from Friday’s meeting with Birmingham to ensure they finish second in the table.
Cami Brown’s men had the match against Leicester won by heat 12, with two 5-1s in the final two heats making the result look more respectable for the visitors.
It means Glasgow avoid going into the quarter-finals and are one step closer to making the grand final.
Jensen, who won twice on his way to a paid eight-point haul, said: “It was great to have a win against Leicester – it was, on paper, a really hard match.
“Everybody kicked in today and we had the victory.
“We are probably settling down now after a few changes to the team in the middle of the season.
“I think we have each other’s backs as a team and today everybody delivered, we beat a great team.
“Everybody was thinking it was going to be a close match but we were 10 or 15 points ahead at one point, so it was a big statement from the club.”
The Tigers must now wait to see who they face in the semis, with Leicester, Edinburgh, Scunthorpe and Redcar potential opponents.
They are also still in the running to win the KO Cup.
