Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: "We were disappointed to lose our opening game against the Scarlets, but the effort in the second-half last week was really encouraging and much more what we expect from our players.
"For those selected to play Connacht, it's an opportunity to put what we've learned last week and what we've been working on in training this week into a much-improved performance.
"Connacht are a very good side who have a strong set-piece and come into this game off the back of a win against the Dragons last weekend. Our two opening fixtures were always going to be tough and we know we'll have to perform very well to win tomorrow night.
"Our supporters created a fantastic atmosphere last Saturday and we're looking forward to playing in front of them once again."
