Articles about the rugby team Glasgow Warriors, Glasgow’s fast growing professional sports team and PRO12 Champions in 2014-2015. Based at Scotstoun Stadium, Glasgow is home to many of current Scotland internationals, including key players such as Finn Russell, Stuart Hogg and Jonny Gray.

New coach Dave Rennie, formerly of the New Zealand franchise The Chiefs, will be hoping to bring his well respected brand of attacking rugby to the side. New recruits such as Huw Jones, Ollie Kebble and Calum Gibbons will look to become fans favourites, whilst Scotstoun will also be welcoming back Ruaridh Jackson, Brandon Thomson and most exciting of all, Niko Matalawu.
