SCUNTHORPE captain Simon Lambert vowed “we don’t fear anyone” ahead of the crunch clash with Glasgow.
The Scorpions host the Tigers in tonight’s BSN Series semi-final first leg at the Eddie Wright Raceway, live on BSN.
Lambert admits that the spirit is good in the Scunny camp to reach the final against either Redcar or Poole.
He said: “We’ve got a good feeling in the camp at the minute.
“We are certainly a lot better on the road, that’s for sure this year. We want to push on and make the final.
“I don’t think we are fazed, we’ve got a really good feeling in the camp.
“For the club it’s good to make the semi-final. Glasgow is a track I like.
“We don’t really fear anyone. The plan is to try and beat Glasgow over two legs and make the final.”
Glasgow captain Tom Brennan was quick to admit that Scunthorpe’s strength on their home track is a threat.
He added: “Scunny have been one of the form sides so far this season. They are great on their home track so it will be vital to do well there on Friday.
“But we are a good team as well. We certainly don’t fear anyone and we want to make the final obviously.”
The second leg is back at Ashfield on May 19 and Brennan is confident of their home form.
He added: “I think we can be a force at Ashfield all season. But we don’t want to leave ourselves too much to do at home. Scunny are strong.
“It’s a tough one to call over two legs but we’ll leave everything on the track and hopefully get to our first final of 2023.”

Scunthorpe: Ryan Douglas, Simon Lambert, Max Clegg, Jake Allen, Michael Palm Toft, Nathan Ablitt, Connor Mountain.
