GLASGOW will have to be on top form if they want to earn their stripes at Sheffield tomorrow, according to club chiefs.
The Yorkshire Tigers have won five of their seven meetings so far and have two meetings in hand over their Scottish counterparts.
It’s expected that Nike Lunna will make his racing return for Glasgow, after a spell out with a broken thumb, while Richie Worrall moves to No 1 thanks to his superb start to the season.
Richard Lawson will line up at five as Glasgow try to combat the firepower of Sheffield’s Kyle Howarth – one of the country’s most in-form riders.
Stewart Dickson’s men have secured at least a point in their nine fixtures so far – but he admits they face their toughest test yet in keeping that run going.
He said: “They are in blistering form at home. It’s going to be tough to keep the record of getting a point at every venue, home or away.
“Kyle Howarth is on fire at the moment, and Josh Grajczonek we know well.
“We have guys who can race on that track, there’s no doubt about it, but we will need fast engines as it’s a fast, fast track. They’re handing out some skelpings to teams round there so we’re under no illusions about how tough it’ll be.
“It’s another big test for us, because they are genuine title challengers. They were one of my strong tips at the start of the season. Everybody will need to be on their game.”
Team captain Aaron Summers added: “I think tomorrow night is probably going to be our toughest match.
“They’ve got a good side round there and they’ve been going really well at home, so we’re going to have to be on our toes to do the job.”
