Returning internationalists Dan Parks and Gordon Bulloch were named on the Glasgow bench along with Kenny Logan, who has skippered the team in the absence of Jon Petrie.
"Calvin Howarth and Scott Lawson have been playing extremely well for us in key positions, but having Dan and Gordon back means we have a really strong bench which gives us options if we need them," said Hugh Campbell, Glasgow's coach, in today's Herald.
Scott Lawson has been in great form in the Scotland skipper's absence and has contributed to the improvement of a Glasgow lineout that was shaky at the start of the season. And Hugh believes that Scott is there on merit: "He and Gordon are very similar, powerful, dynamic players and, while Gordon has tremendous experience, it will be good for him to have competition for his place because he has not had much of that down the years."
"Kenny's been very good for us as a leader and he is very competitive so is really upset that he's not in the side which is great. I'd rather have players who react like that because it shows how badly they want to play for us."
Hugh is also delighted to have Euan Murray available after the prop was granted a stay before his appeal against his controversial 12-match ban for the sending-off against Llanelli last month.
"It is a crazty situation that Glasgow are having to fund lawyers to fight with Murrayfield on this, but hopefully common sense will now prevail."
