Glasgow Warriors v Northampton Saints: Champions Cup preview
Last Updated: 21/11/15 5:58pm
Glasgow Warriors host Northampton Saints in Pool 3 of the European Rugby Champions Cup on Saturday evening, live on Sky Sports 5 HD from 5pm.
Gregor Townsend has stuck with the same starting XV who were due to kick off Glasgow's European Champions Cup campaign last week before last Friday's Paris terror attacks.
Warriors were in Paris to face Racing 92 last Saturday but returned home without kicking a ball after the terrorist atrocities in the French capital which saw the clash postponed.
Townsend has named an unchanged match-day squad for what will now be the Guinness Pro12 champions' European opener in front of a sell-out 6,800 crowd at Scotstoun.
The head coach said: "We're really looking forward to kicking off our European campaign against Northampton Saints on Saturday evening.
"Northampton were impressive in their win away to the Scarlets last weekend and will be travelling with confidence, but we're excited about playing at home in front of a capacity crowd, who will help create another big European night at Scotstoun.
"We've had continuity with the team selection this week and it'll be a good test against one of the top teams in England."
