Glasgow Warriors' 50-35 victory over Bourgoin at Firhill on Saturday ended a five match losing streak in all competitions. The Warriors won the only previous Celtic League match at Old Anniesland 12-10 against Edinburgh on 18 September 2004.

The Ospreys' only victory in the last half a dozen games in all competitions since early December was a 26-12 win over Clermont-Auvergne at the Liberty Stadium on 14 January, whilst their last away victory in the Celtic League was in Belfast on 4 November.

The two sides played out a thrilling 27-all draw at Hughenden the last time they met almost exactly a year ago -- the three previous encounters all going with home field advantage on the day.
