GLASGOW boss Cami Brown admits it’s now “win or bust” for their Cab Direct Championship title bid.
The Allied Vehicles Tigers face Redcar in their penultimate Play-Off Group B clash on Teesside tonight, live on BSN.
They need to win at the ECCO Arena and then beat Oxford by at least 11 points in their final home Play-Off fixture next Tuesday to reach the Grand Final.
Brown said: “It’s now win or bust. The Cheetahs have set us the biggest task possible.
“They have shown an awful lot of class and resilience to remain unbeaten at the top of the Cab Direct Championship Group B. That included coming from 10 points down at Redcar last Friday to win by four.
“That shows an awful lot of mental strength and determination. But our destiny is still in our own hands.
“It is very achievable for this Tigers side to win at Redcar and then beat Oxford by 11 points to reach the Grand Final.
“Of course it will be thrilling, nail-biting and heartstopping. Play-Off speedway is rarely dull and to win any trophy you have to ride the rollercoaster of emotion.”
Jack Smith again stands in at reserve for the injured Ace Pijper, with rider replacement in operation for Claus Vissing.
Meanwhile Bears bring in Justin Sedgmen to guest for the injured Charles Wright, and Luke Harrison again replaces Jake Mulford at reserve.
Redcar manager Gavin Parr said: “Whilst the Play-Offs haven’t gone the way we all had hoped for, if we can beat Glasgow and a few of the boys have a good night then the side will have built up some momentum ahead of the Scunthorpe (KO Cup) match.”
REDCAR: Danny King, Danyon Hume, Connor Bailey, Justin Sedgmen, Erik Riss, Jason Edwards, Luke Harrison.
GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Tom Brennan, Benjamin Basso, Claus Vissing R/R, Vadim Tarasenko, Lee Complin, Jack Smith.
