Glasgow captain Chris Bomber Harris has vowed to recover from a tough start to his season.
The former world No 6 admits he has not found his best form since joining the Tigers in a big winter move.
And on Monday night the 35-year-old failed to score for Premiership side Rye House as he struggled with his machinery.
Harris, who has raced in more than 100 Grand Prix, believes he can recapture the performances that have made him one of the most popular riders on the circuit.
Glasgow open their Championship campaign at home to reigning league champions Sheffield Tigers in Glasgow on Friday (tapes-up 7.30pm).
Harris said: “I always turn up with 100 per cent effort for anyone I ride for so for me not to be scoring well disappoints me more than anyone else.
“There have been so many rain-offs and I have had a few issues with my bikes, which I am not happy about, but the bike issues are being sorted and I am still in love with my racing.
“There is a long season ahead yet and I’m looking forward to racing my bike and proving people wrong.”
Glasgow’s reserve Jack Thomas returns to team action after gaining fifth-place finish in Tuesday’s British under-21 Final at Berwick.
He suffered a heavy crash in his fifth ride but managed to qualify for the semi-final where he finished third, one place short of the chance to challenge for a medal.
