AL KELLOCK has tagged Glasgow's first major final against Leinster at the Royal Dublin Showgrounds tomorrow night as the biggest game of his life.

The 32-year-old will almost certainly lead Glasgow out in the Irish capital as they attempt to create history by dethroning the reigning PRO12 champions and claiming their first-ever league title.

For eight seasons, Kellock has been the talismanic presence that has driven Warriors forward on the field of play, while his inspirational captain's addresses in the dressing room have stirred the Warriors' blood to new heights of rugby heroics.

Now, as he focused on Glasgow's Dublin denouement with Matt O'Connor's men, Kellock has outlined just how important the final is to Glasgow's rugby history.

He said: "This will, if selected, undoubtedly be the biggest game of club rugby I have ever been involved in. To lead the boys out at the RDS and see 3,000 Glasgow fans there will make me a very proud Glaswegian.

"When I look back to eight years ago, when I joined Glasgow, we were playing at Hughenden in front of 1,000 people, if we were lucky. Our training arrangements were nomadic to say the least and, although we fronted up at home, on the road it was a struggle sometimes.

"When you look at the journey we have been on to get to this final it is staggering. But the one thing that I can say about this final - the biggest game in Glasgow's history that it undoubtedly is - is that win, lose or draw, it will not be the end of that journey."

Looking back on the road to the final, Kellock has no doubt about the key encounter in the epic nine-game winning run that has sent Glasgow across the Irish Sea on the back of a new record for consecutive league victories.

The Warriors' captain said: "It has taken a tremendous effort from everyone concerned at Glasgow to get to this final. In particular, the first half of the play-off semi-final with Munster was the most intense and brutal 40 minutes of club rugby I have been involved in.

"To come through that and win that type of game has given us tremendous belief, but it is not just that match. We have been to Leinster on two occasions in play-off semis and been edged in both and you learn from that.

"Tomorrow we have the chance to prove just how much we have learned and give our fans a night they will never forget."

Kellock added: "Going back to Hughenden, there have been so many players who have played a part in helping us make this final, from Donnie McFadyen, Jon Petrie, Dan Parks and Bernie Stortoni and so many more through to the 23 men who will be involved tomorrow night. This is a game that can help us build a legacy."

Meanwhile, it is understood full-back Stuart Hogg will not be included in the matchday squad.
