Sky Sports' Will Greenwood thinks Glasgow Warriors could spring a surprise when they visit Saracens in the European Champions Cup quarter-finals

Will Greenwood believes Glasgow Warriors are capable of pulling off a huge upset this weekend and knocking reigning champions Saracens out of the European Rugby Champions Cup.

Glasgow travel to Allianz Park on Sunday looking to advance to the last four as Europe's premier rugby club competition returns to our screens after a hiatus for the Six Nations.

In the weekend's other matches, Clermont face Toulon, Munster are at home to Toulouse, Leinster host Wasps.

Saracens were in vintage form on Sunday when they pummelled title rivals Bath 53-10 to keep their Aviva Premiership title hopes on track but Greenwood thinks they could be vulnerable this weekend.

When asked about potential upsets, Greenwood told Sky Sports News HQ: "It is so difficult. This European tournament has been going on for twenty-odd years and the stats say in every quarter-finals, there is always an away win.

"I am trying to find it. I don't think there will be an away win but if you are pushing me the one that pops up is Glasgow. I give them a chance to go to Saracens, I really do.

"Saracens have supplied so many England players and have had so many injuries.

"History says there will be one away win. I backed Sarries to do the double last year and I think they will win the Premiership this year but Europe is a step too far and Glasgow could come and rattle their cage on Sunday afternoon."
