Aaron Summers insists Glasgow can repeat their derby heroics and book their place at the top of the SGB Championship on Thursday night.
Second-placed Tigers travel to third-placed Ipswich in a crucial league encounter but Glasgow beat current league pace-setters, Edinburgh Monarchs, 57-34 at home on Saturday to go level with their Scots rivals on points.
Skipper Summers said: “With the way the weekend’s meeting went, there’s no reason why we can’t go into it (the match at Ipswich) with good confidence. We need everyone firing to make it happen.”
Glasgow face a revamped Ipswich side who have lost Nico Covatti and Danyon Hume to injury. They have signed ex-Edinburgh star Justin Sedgmen as a replacement for Covatti while James Shanes deputises for Hume.
Tigers will operate rider replacement for Nike Lunna, who has a broken thumb, meaning Bewley and Richard Lawson will be able to take two of the Finnish rider’s races.
Summers added: “It’s Justin’s first meeting for them so it’s going to be tough for him. Nico was pretty strong round Ipswich.
“The main one that they’re struggling with is Danyon Hume who has just fallen to injury as well he was one of their key riders at home.”
