The two teams said farewell to 2024 in their last encounter on Hogmanay. Following that win for Glasgow the Clan opened up 2025 on the Friday night in Manchester where they were defeated 4-1. They remained on the road the next night when they travelled to Nottingham and narrowly lost 2-1 to the Panthers. The following Friday the Cardiff Devils were visitors to Braehead arena and the Clan’s long unbeaten home run of 7 games was ended in an exciting odd goal in nine thriller in favour of the visitors. The Guildford Flames were next in the following night and in another nailbiter the Clan this time got the decision with a 5-4 win after overtime. It was a single game for the Clan the following weekend when they hosted the Sheffield Steelers on Friday night with the defending Champions making it 8 consecutive wins when they posted a 3-1 score line. The Clan were then in midweek action in the play in round of the Challenge Cup when they travelled to Nottingham and were eliminated for the competition by a 5-1 score line. With the weather postponing the Flyers trip to Braehead Arena it left the Clan with a single game the following weekend when they crashed 6-2 on Tayside against the Dundee Stars. Last weekend they had a home doubleheader with the Sheffield Steelers in town on Saturday night and after being two goals ahead lost the five straight to drop the points. The following night Manchester Storm were the visitors and they battled back from twice being behind top take two points in a 3-2 overtime decision.
