You could be on to something - from around 870 AD, the capital of the Kingdom of Strathclyde was ... Govan. ;D :lol:

"From a place of solemn piety, the Glasgow area came to real political prominence in the late 9th century after Viking raids on the west coast destabilised the Kingdom of Dumbarton, which had its primary fort on Dumbarton Rock. The kings of Dumbarton were finally overrun in 866 AD by the army of Olaf the White, the Norse king of Dublin, and power shifted inland. The new capital was to be in the heart of the Clyde Valley, at the junction of the Clyde and Kelvin Rivers. The site selected is called Govan and is one of the oldest districts in Glasgow."

Have to admit that I'm thinking the same - SA have the lineouts sewn up and a stronger swap from the bench to sap up any last English push. Oh well.
