Dan hopes for a long goodbye.

Dan Parks wants to finish on a high with Glasgow
Dan Parks is one of a number of Warriors who could be playing their last game at Firhill in a Glasgow jersey as they move on to pastures new next season.

The stand-off will move to Cardiff Blues next season after seven years with the Warriors but he's determind to make it a long goodbye to the Glasgow supporters.

With two games of the regular season to go Glasgow could seal their play-off spot with a victory over Leinster tonight depending on other results over the weekend, but mathematically the Warriors could win and still miss out on the top four next month. A place in the top two and home semi-final is also still possible, but will probably require bonus-point wins and both Ospreys and Munster – who meet tomorrow night – to fail to match that in their final games.

Dan told the Herald: "We realise that if we win the next two games there's certainly a chance of maybe getting a home semi, so it's all about winning the first game. If it does turn out to be my last game here then there are a lot of fond memories at Firhill with Glasgow...but I'm looking forward to finishing off the regular season on a high.

"There have been many fond memories at Firhill, and Hughenden as well but in the end they're down to the great players I've played with, the nice guys that have been involved here at the club and the great fans who always embraced me and got behind me when possibly others haven't.

"I'm going to miss the Glasgow fans. They are very passionate. There might not be the amount of support thet the Munster and Leinsters have but they certainly are very passionate and very committed to us."

for the last 7 years Dan has lead us to many great victories! He will do it again tonight. We only go to see the Parksy! He deserves a standing ovation for his efforts. Lets get behind every single one of the boys tonight!

It's going to be a hard job for you to get behind all the boys if you only go to see Parksy!
Let's get over the Parks thing - he's going at the end of the season and that's that, the end, the 'king' is dead BLAH BLAH BLAH!
In all honesty I still don't believe his defensive frailties and predeliction for throwing intercepts have made him a true team player. Stortoni still has to cover for him at 10 defensively and that upsets the patterns that the coaches would rather adopt. Let's just say 'thanks' for the points over the seasons but get on with supporting the young, up and coming Scottish talent that the Warriors will have at their disposal next season.

Sure, I'll be happy to do that next season .. but, until then, DAN IS THE MAN!

7 years of loyalty didn't mean much when Glasgow club officialdom couldn't be bothered retaining Dan. He was forced to move.

Forced to move despite having a year left on his contract, how did that work out?
