The Reivers are on a poor run of results, but their home record against Scottish opposition is a good one, so Glasgow will have to be on top form to grab their second away win of the season.
Border Reivers play their first Magners League game since 1 December, the Reivers having lost their last six matches in all competitions. The Reivers have not lost at home to a fellow Scottish side since Glasgow won 10-7 at Melrose in September 2004.

Glasgow Warriors have won their last three games in all competitions following their 34-27 victory against Edinburgh in the Magners League. Warriors have not lost at Hughenden since a 23-24 reversal to the Newport Gwent Dragons on 1 September.

Border Reivers did the league double over Glasgow last season, but it is the Warriors who have the chance to return the favour having won 25-0 at Hughenden on 6 October.
