Kevin Tkachuk went over for a try the last time Glasgow played Ospreys
Glasgow Warriors will be hoping that new head coach Sean Lineen can give their Celtic League campaign a boost when they take on Ospreys at Liberty Stadium on Saturday (ko 5.30pm).

Ospreys have lost two of their last three matches but both of those were played away from home. At Liberty Stadium the Ospreys have won three in a row against Clermont Auvergne, Border Reivers and Edinburgh Gunners. Ospreys are in fact going for an eighth successive home win against Scottish opposition.

Glasgow have won just one of their last six encounters in the Celtic League since December: 26-20 against Munster at Thomond Park on 18 February. The Warriors have lost all five games against opponents from Wales this season.

Ospreys' only previous loss to Glasgow was 34-31 at Hughenden in May 2004, whilst the Ospreys won 22-8 when the two met at Old Anniesland in January.

Referee: Alain Rolland (IRFU). Touch Judges: Tony Rowlands (WRU), Gary Davies (WRU).
