Glasgow's management yesterday admitted to interest in signing the back-row forward, whose club, Bristol, are currently in financial difficulties. "His situation has been talked about and we would definitely be interested," said Kiwi Searancke.
Bristol have some financial problems and Beattie has admitted to doubts over his club's future."It has been very difficult this past couple of months and we don't know quite what is going on," said Beattie. "There's a bit of a grey shadow over us, wondering whether we are going to continue as we are, whether we are going to move or whether we are going to have a club at all."
