Glasgow Clan will play their first competitive home game of the 2026\/27 season when Belfast Giants visit Braehead Arena this afternoon.<\/p>\n
The Challenge Cup meeting takes place today, Sunday 13th September, with face-off at 4pm.<\/p>\n
Clan go into their first home game on the back of a 4-3 penalty-shot win away to Fife Flyers last night.<\/p>\n
Glasgow had to go through 65 minutes of play and 10 rounds of penalty shots before taking the extra point at Fife Ice Arena.<\/p>\n
Fife opened the scoring through Mika Partanen before Deven Sideroff brought Clan level during the second period.<\/p>\n
Juho Rautanen put Glasgow ahead in the third period and David Madsen made it 3-1, but the Flyers fought back through Cameron Hough and Xander Lamppa to force overtime.<\/p>\n
Neither side could find a winner in overtime, with the game going to penalty shots.<\/p>\n
Sideroff eventually scored the decisive penalty shot as Clan started their Challenge Cup campaign with two points.<\/p>\n
Glasgow now have a quick turnaround as they prepare to face Belfast at Braehead Arena less than 24 hours later.<\/p>\n
The Giants are part of Clan’s Challenge Cup group alongside Fife Flyers and Dundee Stars, with Glasgow playing each of the three sides four times during the group stage.<\/p>\n
It will be the first competitive home appearance of the campaign for Clan following their programme of pre-season games at Braehead Arena.<\/p>\n
The club’s pre-season preparations included home fixtures against Dundee Stars, HK Liepaja and ECDC Memmingen Indians, with Clan completing their warm-up schedule with a 4-2 victory over Memmingen on Sunday 6th September.<\/p>\n
Ahead of today’s game, Callum Carmichael, from Scoreboard Sportlight<\/a>, said Belfast would provide a strong early test for Clan.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cWe\u2019ll be looking to start off quite positive against a good side that are actually quite well-drilled and a lot of good quality. So, it\u2019ll be a good game for the Glasgow Clan tonight in the arena.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Glasgow Clan will play their first competitive home game of the 2026\/27 season when Belfast Giants visit Braehead Arena this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":503049,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[224,1859],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-503048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ice-hockey","category-scottish-national-league-snl"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&ssl=1",1920,1080,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?fit=1536%2C864&ssl=1",1536,864,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&ssl=1",1920,1080,true],"joomsport-thmb-medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?fit=310%2C174&ssl=1",310,174,true],"rn-home-thumb":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?resize=320%2C200&ssl=1",320,200,true],"rn-home-rect":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?resize=480%2C300&ssl=1",480,300,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Ricky Kelly","author_link":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/author\/mudricky\/"},"category_info":"Ice Hockey<\/a> Scottish National League (SNL)<\/a>","tag_info":"Scottish National League (SNL)","comment_count":"0","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Glasgow-Clan.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503048"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503048\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":503050,"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503048\/revisions\/503050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renfrewshire24.co.uk\/sport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
