THE WEEK AHEAD: Derby double on the horizon
Heading in to March means we’re also heading closer to the end of the season, and for Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West, another two big challenges lie ahead.
Last week may have produced four points from a possible six, but the need to get four out of four against next opponents Fife Flyers is a big one when you look at how things stand.
We’ll get to those in a second, but before we do, let’s catch up on what you may have missed:

FRIDAY
Glasgow Clan vs Fife Flyers (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 7:30pm)
The weekend begins a little earlier and it’s a big one as Fife Flyers travel to Glasgow for some Friday night hockey, and the first part of this double header between the sides.
With the race for the play-offs very much in full swing, Flyers – on the wrong side of that qualification line – have their sights on the Clan just above them and it could be tasty.
Fife have taken points from Braehead Arena this season, but Clan have enjoyed some good home wins, so the scene is very much set for an entertaining contest ahead.
SATURDAY
Fife Flyers vs Glasgow Clan (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 7:15pm)
The dust will have barely settled on Friday’s game when Fife and Glasgow go head-to-head again on Saturday, this time in Kirkcaldy.
Like at Braehead Arena, both teams have had success in Fife so it’s really hard to tell just who will come out of this one with smiles on their faces.
There is no doubting the task ahead will not be easy and in terms of the whole weekend, could be a pivotal one for both teams. With just weeks to go, every point matters.
