The 300 capacity ticket allocation is almost sold out with just over a week to go and for supporters this will be a basketball spectacular with the best of the best on show in Grangemouth.

Finishing up before Christmas, on Friday, December 20, the senior men face long-time rivals Edinburgh Kings, again in a big league match that both sides will be looking to win.
