Berwick host Newcastle in a basement battle in the SGB Championship in the Borders, weather permitting, on Saturday (tapes-up 7pm).

Bandits, skippered by Kevin Doolan (pictured) are eighth in the 11-strong table with 20 points from 15 matches while Newcastle are tenth with 15 points from 14 fixtures.

The Tyneside team were meant to be in action at Edinburgh on Friday but that meeting was called off because of a waterlogged track.

Glasgow return to action at the Peugeot Ashfield Stadium on Saturday (tapes-up 7pm) for the first time since last month.

They face Scunthorpe Scorpions and the club believe it is a chance to regain ground on table-topping Leicester Lions.

Leicester have pulled 14 points clear of Glasgow, though the Tigers have six meetings in hand.

Sam Jensen makes his home debut after a couple of away appearances since he joined as a replacement for the injury-hit Paul Starke.

Jensen, a former Danish U21 champion, says he felt fast on the track during practice and is looking forward to taking his home bow.
