Running out of puff

Iain Morrison predicts a difficult season for Glasgow Warriors in The Scotsman.

”The members of the press were given a guided tour of the Glasgow Warriors' swanky new training facilities last week. Sean Lineen's team are the principal tenants at Scotstoun Stadium, a venue for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, where they have access to a high-tech weights room, an indoor running track, an artificial 3G pitch outdoors and another covered with the more traditional grass.

“It's an impressive place and the only hiccup on the day was an aging runner doing agonisingly slow laps of the brand new track and gasping as though his next step would be his last. Any allusions to the Warriors running out of puff may be all too appropriate.

“Last season was a good one. Glasgow reached the Magners League's inaugural play-offs and had the Celtic League disciplinary board boasted a backbone they would have had home advantage into the bargain. Instead the league officials docked points from the Ospreys this coming season for a misdemeanour committed last March.”
