Sam Johnson starts for Warriors
Dave Rennie his named his Glasgow side to take on Scarlets in tomorrow's PRO14 Semi-Final at Scotstoun (ko 7.45pm).

Finn Russell will start his last home game for Glasgow Warriors against the Scarlets in the Guinness PRO14 Stadium tomorrow night.

George Horne will partner Russell at scrum-half with Sam Johnson and Nick Grigg starting in midfield. Johnson returns to the side having missed the final game of the regular season against Edinburgh.

Tommy Seymour was also missing at Murrayfield that day and he returns to the starting XV and will play alongside DTH van der Merwe and Stuart Hogg in the back three.

Jonny Gray is also fit to play and starts alongside Tim Swinson in the second-row. Ahead of them Jamie Bhatti, Fraser Brown and Zander Fagerson complete the tight forwards.

Ryan Wilson captains the side from Number 8 as Matt Fagerson and Callum Gibbins start on the flanks.

Peter Horne was another player to miss the game against Edinburgh and he is named on an experienced bench that includes club centurions Rob Harley, Chris Fusaro, Henry Pyrgos and Ruaridh Jackson.

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Dave Rennie said: "At the start of the season our goal was to be playing finals footy at home in front of our family and friends and we're excited to be running out in front of a 10,000 strong Scotstoun tomorrow night.

"We've prepared well and it's great to be able to bring back Jonny (Gray), Sam (Johnson) Pete (Horne)and Tommy (Seymour) who were late withdrawals ahead of our last game."

"Scarlets are a quality side, they're reigning Champions for a reason and we're looking forward to the challenge on what is will be a special night for our players and supporters."
