Warriors to host Bath in pre-season clash at Old Anniesland

The match will be played at The High School of Glasgow’s Old Anniesland campus, marking another milestone in the club’s exciting partnership with the school.

The fixture reunites two familiar opponents, with the sides having met in a pre-season encounter in Bath ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Their most recent competitive meetings came during the 2022/23 EPCR Challenge Cup campaign, when the Warriors claimed an impressive victory at The Recreation Ground before the return fixture at Scotstoun finished all square.

Bath’s squad features several familiar faces for the Warriors support, including former Glasgow favourite Finn Russell and prop Jamie Bhatti who moved back to the Prem side this summer.

Scotland internationals Cam Redpath and Josh Bayliss are also part of the English club’s talented playing group.

The fixture will provide valuable preparation for Franco Smith’s squad ahead of the start of the new season, with supporters set to get an early look at the Warriors in action before the competitive campaign begins.

 

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Franco Smith said: “It’s a great opportunity to take one of our pre-season fixtures into the community and to play at The High School of Glasgow.

“Bath are an outstanding side and will provide exactly the type of challenge we’re looking for at this stage of our preparations.

“They have quality throughout their squad and play an exciting brand of rugby. We’re looking forward to the challenge and to the opportunity to play in front of our supporters in a different setting.”

Ticket information for the match will be communicated to supporters in due course.
