Team kit
← 2000–01 2002–03 →

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.

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

Warriors name begins

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."
