Scotland hooker Grant Stewart is among a number of players who will be departing Glasgow this summer.

Warriors announced that seven players would be leaving, although record appearance-holder Rob Harley and Wasps-bound Kiran McDonald were already confirmed to be exiting.

Second-row forward Hamish Bain is leaving, while centre Robbie Fergusson will end his third spell with the club.

Prop Tom Lambert is set to depart to pursue a playing opportunity overseas after an ankle injury sustained in October hampered his progress this season.

Tight-head prop Ewan McQuillin will depart after making two appearances this season.

Stewart played 47 times for Warriors and scored a try in the 2019 PRO14 final. He scored his ninth try for the club against Zebre last month.

Glasgow head coach Danny Wilson told the club’s website: “Each player leaving has applied themselves, worked hard and been passionate about playing for Glasgow Warriors.

“We wish our leavers all the best and would like to thank them for what they have done as Warriors – their contributions both on and off the field cannot be underestimated.

“We’re looking forward to finishing the season together and, when the time is right, celebrating all they have given to the jersey.”
