GLASGOW boss Stewart Dickson says Wednesday’s result and his team’s current form make their Premier League play-off clash with Sheffield an open contest.
The teams meet at Ashfield on Thursday with the home side facing an eight-point deficit from the first leg of the semi-final at Owlerton, and Dickson is keen to see them get back to an all-round scoring effort.
Sheffield have booked Stuart Robson and Cameron Heeps to guest for injured duo Jason Garrity and Dimitri Berge, with rider-replacement in operation for Simon Stead.
Dickson said: “I would say it's evenly poised and we will need to get our gating boots on. I've been saying since June or July that we're still not getting the consistency. We're getting various results.
“But it's a big team effort. From a supporters' point of view it keeps the tie alive and hopefully we'll get a big support out to cheer us on, and see if we can overcome that.
“We need to start well and try to get the confidence going. If the supporters can get behind us and we do a job, we can get ourselves into the Final.”
Sheffield co-promoter Damien Bates said: “Nobody thought we would put Newcastle out in the quarter-final and we did – so we can do it again over Glasgow.
“We have a lead, it could have been more but then again it could have been less. We’ll go there and give it our best shot.”
