SNL preview: Scottish Cup Final place up for grabs as Racers face Tigers

Dundee Tigers visit Murrayfield Racers on Sunday bidding to overcome a one-goal deficit to progress to the final of the Scottish Cup.

The Tigers were beaten 3-2 on home ice in the first leg, but will be eager to upset the odds at Murrayfield Ice Rink.

The Racers are bidding to reach the final for the second year in row and maintain their bid to win four trophies this season.

Dundee Comets head into their weekend double-header with Aberdeen Lynx aiming to guarantee themselves a top four finish in the Scottish National League (SNL).

Three points from the two matches would be enough to ensure that the Comets would finish no lower than fourth this term.

Kirkcaldy Kestrels will be hoping to finish their regular season fixtures with a flourish as they host North Ayrshire Wild on Saturday.

The Kestrels are chasing a third successive victory and would end the campaign in sixth place if they can pick up two points.

Kilmarnock Thunder complete their league fixtures on Saturday when they welcome Paisley Pirates to the Galleon Centre.

It has been a tough season for Thunder and they will be keen to round things off with a positive performance.
