Sebastian Cancelliere's neckwear tells you just how cold it is at Scotstoun tonight.

Glasgow Warriors v Bath (20:00)
Franco Smith has been talking to BBC Radio Scotland ahead of kick-off.
"We just want to grow as a team," he said. "That will be the focus for a while. If we want to compete at the end of the season we still need to improve. We have to be even more accurate.
"I'm excited about the depth in the squad. The selection in the last few weeks shows that everyone has contributed.
"We know we will have lots of players leaving us during the Six Nations, so we've made sure other players are prepared to step up."

Bath make seven alterations to the side that went down 23-35 to Toulon last time out.
Juan Schoeman and Johannes Jonker come into the front row; Will Spencer and Chris Cloete are the two other changes to the forward pack.
Louis Schreuder and Piers Francis are the half-backs, Orlando Bailey switches to full-back and Max Ojomoh lines up on the wing.
Scotland international Cameron Redpath and Ollie Lawrence are a familiar partnership at 12 and 13.
Bath have struggled for consistency all season, and have lost all three of their Challenge Cup games so far.

Franco Smith has made 10 changes to the side that dispatched Perpignan 26-40 in France last week.
Jamie Bhatti and Lucio Sordoni join Johnny Matthews in the front row, Alex Samuel comes in to partner Richie Gray, and a powerful back row is made up of Euan Ferrie, Sione Vailanu and Matt Fagerson.
In the back-line, Ali Price and Tom Jordan are tasked with pulling the strings, 'Huwipulotu' will look to continue their impressive partnership in the centres as the Six Nations approaches, whilst captain Kyle Steyn and Sebastian Cancelliere return to the starting XV on the wings.
