Murrayfield Racers play Paisley Pirates in the final of the Scottish National League play-offs (Sunday 6pm, Dundee Ice Arena).

Both teams progressed to the showpiece game after wins on Saturday night at The Dundee Ice Arena.

Racers edged Dundee Comets 4-3 despite their goaltender being ejected from the game.

And Paisley beat Kirkcaldy Kestrels by the same scoreline in a game which finished well after 11pm because of a fire alert at the rink.

The Elite League play-off group has been decided with Dundee Stars and Manchester Storm being eliminated along with Milton Keynes Lightning.
