Mark McMillan could soon be back in Glasgow colours
Mark McMillan is set to return to Glasgow Warriors at the end of this season.

The scrum-half joined the London side after a spell with their English Premiership rivals Leeds.

Today's Herald reports that while Sean Lineen was not prepared to confirm that the player would be returning to the club, he admitted that it is a key area that his club needs to strengthen, with Sam Pinder the only experienced scrum-half on their books.

"With Chris O'Young going back to Western Force we are a scrum-half down and obviously our preference, as always, is to try to bring in Scottish players where possible," said Sean.

He added that he is currently working hard on recruitment and hopes to have next season's squad finalised by the end of April.

No comments? Where are all the "we want Scots and nothing but home grown talent in the team ...these Kiwis, Ausies, Samoans, Welsh have no right to be playing here .. we're here to develop for our national team" brigade?

But that wasn't the reason given to the SRU membership for the creation of the pro-sides. The justification for pumping all this cash subsidising the sides and diverting it from rugby development has always been to support the national side.

I'm just happy McMillan is coming to Glasgow because I think he is a good scrum-half.

Well, you can always fill the two pro teams full of foreigners and have no Scottish players playing. That would really help the future of the game at international level.
