Team kit

The 2001–02 season is the sixth in the history of the Glasgow Warriors as a professional side. During this season the young professional side competed as Glasgow Rugby; reverting to their original professional title and dropping the Caledonian name inherited from the Caledonia Reds merger. However, the team gains the epithet Warriors at least from this season.[1]

The 2001–02 season saw Glasgow Rugby compete in competitions: the Welsh-Scottish League, the Celtic League, the European Champions Cup, and the Heineken Cup.

Season Overview

[edit]

Warriors name begins

[edit]

At least from this season the team acquired its Warriors moniker – if not yet officially – and even becomes known as such to opposition fans. The Glasgow–Leinster semi-final programme, in Tony Ward's Leinster preview, states, "it adds to the competition enormously that the Glasgow Warriors remain on board thereby breaking the Irish provincial monopoly."[2]
