Glasgow Clan forward Craig Peacock is glad he won’t be watching his side’s game with Cardiff Devils on Wednesday as he marks his return to action from injury.

The 30-year-old has been out for five weeks with a lower body complaint, but his timing couldn’t be better with Pete Russell’s team on a run of one win in their last eight games going into the televised clash with the league champions.

“Hopefully, I can continue the form I had before I got injured.,” he said. “The timing of it was unfortunate. I was having a really good season, so to pick up the injury when I did was a little bit worrying.

“I'm glad to being back. I’m not a good spectator and I think any sportsman in a similar position will agree, it’s a hard thing to watch.”

Clan played the Devils on Sunday, losing 2-0 in the Welsh capital, but despite the latest loss, Peacock insists the mood is good and reckons an early goal could be key.

He added: “There was a positive vibe from the game on Sunday, although we lost. We’ve played well against Cardiff, but they’re sound all over and tough to break down, but an early goal would certainly help with confidence.”
