Matchday countdown

Less than five hours to go until tapes-up on our pivotal BSN Series Scottish Section fixture at Ashfield  tonight (6pm).

Your R.E.D Bandits, powered by STS are at full strength and travel knowing that nothing less than victory will open up a route into the knockout stages of the competition.

Glasgow will consider themselves hot favourites to progress having won both of their away group fixtures but there only outing at Ashfield was a defeat at the hands of Edinburgh in the Scottish Cup second leg.

As is the norm these days Craig Cook returns to a track where he has legendary status while Danyon Hume, Jack Smith and Sam Hagon – who was crowned British under-21 champion there last year – all have fond memories of the racestrip and Drew Kemp scored seven points guesting for the Monarchs in that season opener.

If you’ve not already hit the high road then the action will be beamed live into homes via BSN who go on air around 5.30pm. Watch/buy
