Season Overview

After impressive preseason displays, Glasgow Warriors played its first game in the new Celtic League against Newport Gwent Dragons, losing 23–24 after a last minute penalty.[1]

Glasgow then did not lose another home game until Ulster came to Hughenden in January 2007.[2] Glasgow drew away to English side Saracens in the European Challenge Cup, en route to a quarter-final berth, but was drawn against Saracens and lost 23–19 at Vicarage Road.

The Warriors defeated both Scottish rivals, Edinburgh[3] and Border Reivers,[4] just a week apart, and at the start of April title hopefuls Leinster arrived at Hughenden. Glasgow won the game 26–20,[5] before following it up with a good away win against Irish side Connacht.[6] The next game saw Glasgow travel to Ravenhill to face Ulster, one of only 2 sides to beat them at Hughenden, and the team stunned the home crowd by winning the game.[7]

Then it was the turn of Welsh side, the Neath-Swansea Ospreys (a side that would win the title at Netherdale the following week) to travel to Hughenden. The Ospreys crossed the Glasgow try-line within 45 seconds, and crossed twice more to take a (26–9) lead just minutes from half-time, before Glasgow's Dan Parks converted his own try to take it to 26–16 at half time. In the second half, Parks kicked another penalty before setting up Graeme Morrison for a try, which he converted to level the scores. Parks kicked a penalty from just shy of the half way line to take a 3-point lead and the Ospreys couldn't find a way out of their own half for the remaining 20 minutes.[8]

The Warriors failed to make it 5 in a row the following week, but coach Sean Lineen was happy with his team's performance over the season nonetheless.
