Rivalry renewed

It’s one fixture the Purple Army always look forward to as Fife Flyers come to Glasgow looking to steal away the Challenge Cup points.

It’s still a huge rivalry and while there’s been all manner of changes across both teams, the fans will certainly do their bit to make it a white hot atmosphere.

For the respective coaches, Messrs Morgan and Tom Coolen, they’ve heard a lot about this fixture.  Now they get to experience it for the first time.

The Braehead Arena box office is open between 3pm and 7:30pm and we’re there to accommodate game day buyers due to the cost of living crisis.
