2006–07 Glasgow Warriors season


The 2006–07 season saw Glasgow Warriors compete in the Celtic League and the European Challenge Cup.

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.
Glasgow then did not lose another home game until Ulster came to Hughenden in January 2007. 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 and Border Reivers, just a week apart, and at the start of April title hopefuls Leinster arrived at Hughenden. Glasgow won the game 26–20, before following it up with a good away win against Irish side Connacht. 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.
Then it was the turn of Welsh side, the Neath–Swansea Ospreys to travel to Hughenden. The Ospreys crossed the Glasgow try line within 45 seconds, and crossed twice more to take a 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 three-point lead and the Ospreys couldn't find a way out of their own half for the remaining 20 minutes.
The Warriors failed to make it five in a row the following week, but coach Sean Lineen was happy with his team's performance over the season nonetheless.
