Glasgow Warriors centre Graeme Morrison makes his first appearance for three months against Llanelli Scarlets in the Magners League at Hughenden on Friday night.

The Scotland international has not played since the defeat at Leinster on November 10 due to a long-term groin injury. But now the 24-year-old is relishing his return to action against Llanelli tomorrow.

Graeme said: “I ran for the first time a few weeks ago and everything has worked out quite well. I am just delighted to be getting a game. It has been disappointing to be sidelined with the team doing so well. I was pleased for the boys but it was frustrating not being directly involved. But I am glad to be getting back into it.”

Glasgow Warriors head coach Sean Lineen also welcomes back a number of key internationals for the game.

Andrew Henderson replaces Scott Barrow at centre, while stand-off Dan Parks returns to the starting line-up in place of Colin Gregor and Hefin O’Hare moves to wing for Colin Shaw. Glasgow Warriors captain Alastair Kellock returns to the second row in place of Dan Turner with prop Moray Low included in the starting XV alongside Justin Va’a and Fergus Thomson. Jon Petrie moves to flanker to relace Steve Swindall as Johnnie Beattie returns at No. 8.
