We’ve got an action packed Super Saturday in store as we welcome Yorkshire Carnegie to the Athletic Ground for the return of Greene King IPA Championship action.
The Scots currently sit fifth in the table and face Bryan Redpath’s side who occupy second place and have lost just once so far this season.
This match last year was one of the most dramatic seen in recent times at the Athletic Ground. Scottish trailed 8-20 with just 10 minutes remaining but two late tries and two touchline conversions from Peter Lydon gave his side what was a memorable 22-20 victory.
