Back-row duo set for a return to action

Ryan Wilson and Callum Gibbins are set for a return to action
Glasgow's push for a home PRO14 semi-final is set to be boosted by the return to action of co-captains Ryan Wilson and Callum Gibbins.

With this year's final being staged at Celtic Park, Warriors can ensure they see out the campaign within their own city limits with victory against Edinburgh at Scotstoun on Saturday.

Dave Rennie's side must match Munster's result against Connacht to top Conference A and their joint on-field leaders could be in the mix for selection.

Ryan Wilson has not played since damaging knee ligaments against Ireland during this year's Six Nations but took part in training on Tuesday as Glasgow started to gear up for their weekend derby battle.

Wilson's back-row partner Gibbins, meanwhile, has been out of action since suffering a concussion in last month's Heineken Champions Cup defeat to Saracens but assistant coach Jason O'Halloran is confident he will also be passed fit.

He said: "We've got guys starting to come back, which is nice for us. We'll get a clearer picture around a couple of guys in the next 24 hours.

"Callum Gibbons in particular, we just need him to get through training. He seemed to be pretty good today in training.
