Joe Naufahu has missed most the season due to a knee injury
Glenn Metcalfe and Joe Naufahu return to rugby on Monday evening after long absences with knee injuries. Glasgow have included the players in the back-up XV for the match against Scotland U21s at Murrayfield (ko 7.00pm).

Making up the Glasgow team on Monday, seven professionals are joined by eight players from Edinburgh and Caledonia clubs. The match has been arranged to give the national under-21 a warm-up before their Six Nations programme begins against Wales at Bridgend two weeks today.

Three contenders for Scotland’s under-21 pack are in the Glasgow squad for Monday – John Stewart from Stirling County, Ian Dryburgh and Danny Wright from Watsonians. Stewart and Dryburgh will make up Glasgow's second row, and Wright is among the reserves. Stewart and Wright have already played for national age-group teams against New Zealand Youth this season whereas Dryburgh and Wright were in the Scotland squad in the under-19 world championship in France last year.
