THE NUMBERS GAME: Clan @ Dundee Stars – Wednesday

It’s a New Year and a new start for Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West and the first stop is Tayside where Dundee Stars are ready to lay out the welcome mat.

The first game of 2024 is imminent, and we know these two will serve up a traditionally fiery and feisty encounter so quite the night lies ahead.
