Bradley hopes

Glasgow v Connacht Hughenden, 7

Glasgow v Connacht Hughenden, 7.30Glasgow Warriors have yet to name a side for tonight's contest as they continue to dredge the ashes of their disappointing defeat at home to Leinster in last weekend's Heineken European Cup clash, when Dan Parks had a nightmare with the boot.

John O'Sullivan

The Scottish side are suffering a very poor run of results and their only win in their last 10 matches in all competitions was 32-10 over Munster at Hughenden in September. Connacht's fortunes are little better in the Celtic League where they are on a slide of six consecutive defeats.

Keith Matthews returns in the centre for Connacht, which will offset the loss of John Hearty. Bradley will be hoping that his team's last two performances mark an upturn in fortunes and a point from which they can kick on in their season.
