Andy Craig returns to Glasgow's team for the Celtic League match against Cardiff at the Arms Park tomorrow (ko 5.30pm).

Andy, who was a second-half replacement against Australia last Saturday, has been released from the international squad this week.

Andy's return is the only change in the Glasgow team who started in the 36-22 win against The Borders at Hughenden on Friday evening last week. He replaces David Millard, who took a head knock in that Hughenden match.

Glasgow will be without eight international players – seven in the Scotland squad for the Perth match against Japan tomorrow, and Kevin Tkachuk with Canada's team against England at Twickenham. In addition, Cammy Mather, who had been in Scotland's original squad of 37 for the autumn Tests, is still recovering from a leg injury, and Lee Harrison has been ill.

Hugh Campbell is confident that another Arms Park win can be achieved. "This team can put our Scotland players under pressure," he observed. "I want the Scotland guys coming back having to fight for their places."

Glasgow will be travelling to and from Cardiff on match day by charter flight.

Glasgow's team:

15 Rory Lamont
14 Rory Kerr
13 Andy Craig
12 Gareth Maclure
11 Kenny Logan (captain)
10 Calvin Howarth
9 Sam Pinder

1 Andrew Kelly
2 Scott Lawson
3 Euan Murray
4 Andy Hall
5 Dan Turner
6 Steve Swindall
7 Andrew Wilson
8 John Beattie

Replacements:
16 Fergus Thomson
17 Eric Milligan
18 Joe Beardshaw
19 John Barclay
20 Graeme Beveridge
21 Colin Gregor
22 Colin Shaw

I was quite impressed by Steve Swindall in the Borders game

Steve has always done a good job when called upon by Glasgow - and I've heard fans compare him to Badger in terms of his attitude on the park! Definitely a reliable addition to our Glasgow back row, and a significant member of an outstanding back row at Hawks.
