Adam Hastings to exit Gloucester and join Glasgow Warriors
By Neil Fissler
Scotland international Adam Hastings has secured a return to North of the Border and is re-joining former club Glasgow Warriors when his contract with Gloucester runs out at the end of the season.
Hastings, 27, the son of Scotland legend Gavin, started his career at Bath before moving to Glasgow in 2017, establishing himself as the lynchpin of Dave Rennie’s ambitious Scotstoun outfit.
RugbyPass understands that Hastings, the third member of his family after his father and uncle Scott to play for Scotland, was close to staying at Gloucester before talks stalled, allowing Glasgow to nip in with a late offer.
He hopes to get his career back on track following an injury-ravaged three years in Gloucester that had restricted him to just playing 16 games in all competitions in the last two seasons.
In the last 18 months, he has needed four operations on shoulder, ankle and knee injuries, which started in his last appearance for Scotland against Fiji in November 2022.
Hastings has made six appearances for the Cherry and Whites season this season, scoring 51 points, including a try on his last appearance in a win over Castres in the Challenge Cup a month ago.
Hastings is even weighing up seeing a witch doctor in a bid to put his injury problems behind him: “My sister bought me a voucher to see a shaman in Barcelona, a witch doctor, so I'll need to use that in the summer, maybe.
“I just went on this run of injury after injury. I just couldn't quite believe it was happening, to be honest. You hear about boys having these injury troubles, and you always think, 'that will never be me’.
"But then I'm there with my fourth operation of the year, kind of staring down the barrel,” he said after making his latest comeback from injury.

No just because the personal is much better than last year. I've shown no antagonism of Crusader players, you must be confusing me with someone else.
I have critized Razor for picking players he knows occasionally?
I said I'm not surprised because of his style, he's more a grinder player like Cane, not going to show up on peoples radar until you see how bad the other choices are. This year players like Clarke have been on fire and just show a bit more.
Are you one of those posters continually taking it easy on Razor because he doesn't have his Crusaders stars available? Do you think the rugby world is going to up to him suddenly once Mo'unga returns? lol
Go to commentsJohn you have been beating this drum for a couple of years, if you get proven right get back to us.
The last recent and decent Aussie coach was Ewen McKenzie, he was undermined and forced out by a couple of slimy Aussie players who were given a free pass when they should have been disciplined.
So our history since McQueen is very checkered and it seems to make little difference whether we have an Aussie coach or a Kiwi coach. The players have been entitled for a long time and we had to hit bottom to get them back into reality and to stop thinking it is all about them.
Cheika was an OK coach but his 'go our and destroy the opposition' tactic worked for a while and then didn't.
Please give me a list of great Aussie coaches that I have missed.
