One change for the Warriors

Glasgow Warriors have made one change to the starting XV to face Border Reivers from the team that beat Munster a fortnight ago in the Celtic League.  Scotland hooker Scott Lawson starts and Fergus Thomson drops to the bench.
On the bench, John Beattie returns following a bout of glandular fever and the good news for the Warriors continues as Calvin Howarth makes his comeback following a fractured dislocated ankle in the match against Edinburgh Gunners in September last year.

Stand-off Colin Gregor, whose Scotland 7s team-mates have already left for the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, remains with the Warriors and will leave Scotland to join his international team mates in Australia on Saturday.  On the bench, Ayr scrum half AJ Macfarlane has been drafted in to cover for the injured Graeme Beveridge.

Glasgow Warriors team: 15 Rory Lamont; 14 Hefin O’Hare, 13 Graeme Morrison, 12 Spencer Davey, 11 Mike Roberts; 10 Colin Gregor, 9 Sam Pinder; 1 Kevin Tkachuk, 2 Scott Lawson, 3 Euan Murray; 4 Dan Turner, 5 Craig Hamilton; 6 Steve Swindall, 8 Gregor Hayter, 7 Jon Petrie (CAPTAIN)
Substitutes:16 Lee Harrison, 17 Fergus Thomson, 18 James Eddie, 19 John Beattie, 20 AJ Macfarlane, 21 Calvin Howarth, 22 Graydon Staniforth
