BDO star Ross Montgomery has high hopes of causing a surprise or two going into the Grand Slam of Darts.
The Scotland captain makes his debut in PDC competitions at the Wolves Civic.
The prospect of playing PDC world champion Michael van Gerwen, plus young talents Rob Cross and Joe Murnan, does not faze Montgomery.
"It's a tough group, but there are no easy ones," the East Kilbride thrower told pdc.tv.
'The Boss' begins against defending Grand Slam champion van Gerwen in Group A, but believes he could spring a surprise.
"With the short format in the group stages, it's a great leveller. In the BDO we are used to best of nine legs, so every match we play is vital to start well," the 55 year-old said.
Montgomery has previously struggled in televised majors, but is confident of putting in a good performance.
"I'm playing well, I'm up to world number five in the BDO and I go into the Grand Slam knowing that I can get results," he said.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
