Club Details: Glasgow Warriors
Glasgow Rugby are one of two professional rugby union teams in Scotland.
Glasgow Rugby were created to compete in the Heineken Cup as the SFU did not think that Scottish club sides could compete against the best teams from France and England. Glasgow, however, did not compete in the Heineken Cup until the 1997/8 season.
After two seasons, Glasgow merged with Caledonian to form a team to be known as Glasgow Caledonian. From the 2002/3 season the Caledonian label was dropped and the team were simply known as Glasgow Rugby.
The enforced merger came just after Glasgow had shown some signs of progress by qualifying for the Heineken quarter-final play-offs, in which they lost heavily to Leicester. The combined strength of the new teams was supposed to build on such modest progress, but it did not happen.
In 2005 the team moved to a new home ground at Scotstoun stadium.
Glasgow Warriors finished in 7th place in the 2006/07 season.
