The Scotwaste Monarchs go into tonight's double header knowing that every race point will be vital if they are to sit at the top of the Premier League at Plau-Off cut-off time on Sunday evening.

Redcar Bears provide the first opposition tonight and although they are out of ply-off contention they have proved to be excellent visitors to Armadale in the past. The Bears will be at full strength for the match.

Second on track tonight will be Glasgow Tigers but, unfortuantely, they will not be at full strength. They already have Jan Graversen guesting at reserve in place of the injured Dimitri Berge and now comes news that Rusty Harrison will also be missing. Rusty crashed heavily in his last race at Peterborough on Tuesday and has not recovered sufficiently to ride tonight. Rider replacement will cover his absence with all Tigers, with the exception of Victor Palovaara, being eligible for a ride.

The stadium gates will open at 6.15pm and the first race will be on track at 7.00pm.
