Rob Harley returns from injury as Glasgow travel to Wales to face Scarlets. The Warriors’ record appearance holder will play his 260th game for the club and his first since December’s victory over Exeter at Scotstoun.

Hooker Johnny Matthews starts for the first time since October and winger Josh McKay is also back from injury as Warriors chase a sixth consecutive win in the United Rugby Championship.

Ally Miller is promoted to the starting XV after coming off the bench in the last three games while Jamie Dobie and Duncan Weir form a new-look half-back partnership.

On the bench, Ewan McQuillin is in line for his first Warriors appearance since February 2020 while Ayrshire Bulls scrum-half Jordan Lenac is looking to make his second appearance almost a year after his professional debut.

Head coach Danny Wilson said: “Scarlets are a dangerous team and have some quality individuals – we’ll need to be at our best.”

“After five wins in a row in the URC we are looking forward to taking on Scarlets tomorrow in Llanelli. We’re pleased to welcome back Josh McKay and Rob Harley from injury."
