After spending most of the season on the sidelines Michael Bartlett and Rory Kerr return to the Glasgow squad for the clash with Llanelli at Hughenden tomorrow (ko 7.30pm).

It will be Bartlett's first start since the Bank of Scotland Pro Rugby Cup match against Edinburgh last November.

Rory Kerr takes a place on the bench after being out of favour for most of the season. His absence has caused much debate among Glasgow supporters with rumours that Kerr himself is unhappy that in less than a year he has gone from being a Scottish internationalist to being a player unable to secure a place in the Glasgow squad.

Injuries have kept Glenn Metcalfe and Andrew Henderson out while Lee Harrison is unavailable due to a knee injury sustained in training yesterday. Moffat">Stuart Moffat switches to full back to replace Metcalfe while Tommy Hayes has moved out to inside centre in place of Henderson, with Calvin Howarth at stand-off.

David Hilton has moved to tight head to replace Harrison, with Cameron Blades recalled at loose head. In the pack, Nathan Ross and Gordon Simpson are in at lock and No.8, with Andy Hall and Jon Petrie switching to the bench.

Team: Moffat, Steel, A Bulloch, Hayes, Bartlett, Howarth, Beveridge, Blades, G Bulloch (captain), Hilton, Ross, White, Wilson, Macfadyen, Simpson.

Replacements: Thomson, Kelly, Hall, Petrie, Nicol, Kerr, Reid
