HIGHLAND Rugby Club will look to bounce back from their agonising defeat at champions Ayr when they are on the road again to face Glasgow High Kelvinside tomorrow afternoon in National One.
The Inverness club returned to action from the winter break last week when they suffered a narrow 12-10 defeat to Ayr at Millbrae.
Despite going down 12-0 down early in the game, Highland reduced the gap to two points with a try from Adriu Muritoki along with a conversion and penalty from Dan Corr.
Highland won a penalty in injury time, but Corr’s effort hit the post as they had to settle for a losing bonus point.
