Ospreys Head Coach, Lyn Jones said: "Glasgow are currently the form team in the Magners League and they have already had comfortable results against Welsh regions this season at Hughenden in beating the Blues and Scarlets. I am sure they would have felt hard done by when they were edged out against the Dragons back in September and they also have notably managed to beat both Munster and Leinster at home this season. Our fixtures have always been titanic battles at Hughenden over the last four years and with the confidence Glasgow demonstrated in beating Ulster last weekend I am sure this match will be no different."

"Although we have great respect for our opponents, we are playing with a confidence generated from our recent form. We were delighted to get the victory against Leinster and the feat was made all the more significant by the fact that we had beaten the Scarlets at Stradey Park only seventy-two hours earlier. There were a lot of tired bodies on the park last Friday but we again showed the kind of team spirit that has become the norm for us this season."

"In terms of our league position we are looking no further than the next fixture, although we are playing with a strength and confidence that comes from winning and we will be looking to continue our form in Glasgow, whilst recognizing that a stern test awaits in Scotland."
