GLASGOW boss Stewart Dickson says the Tigers already have five of their seven-man team in place for 2011.The Scottish side are set to be led by former British Champion Joe Screen, who joined the club midway through last season, but Dickson will make no official announcements until the Premier League format is set at the BSPA AGM.Dickson told The Glaswegian: "We have signed five riders in the last week and, while I am not in a position to name names yet, I have to say the line-up is starting to look really exciting."Two of the guys we have in place have never raced for the club before and, if the last two signing targets fall into place then, in my opinion, we will have the two strongest reserves in Premier League history. We already have the three ready-made heat leaders so it is looking very, very good."
