The last time Paul started was in the Hughenden match against tomorrow's opponents, when he scored a try. But a leg break in that game against Dragons kept him out of rugby for more than three months. Paul has featured as a replacement in Glasgow's last two matches.
Steve Swindall of Glasgow Hawks will make his third start for Glasgow this season. He's also made two replacement appearances. He will again be at No.6 with Cammy Mather lining up at No.7 in place of the injured Andy Wilson.
Gordon Bulloch will lead Glasgow tomorrow in Jon Petrie's absence due to a rib injury.
Andy Henderson replaces his fellow cap, Graeme Morrison, at inside centre whereas Rory Lamont takes over on the left wing from his elder brother, Sean, who has a calf strain. Dave Millard's return on the right wing lets Kenny Logan switch to full back in place of Calvin Howarth, who has a back injury.
Glasgow have four club players among their replacements - Colin Shaw from Hawks, A J McFarlane from GHA, Ben Prescott from Aberdeen GSFP and Jonathan van der Schyff from Currie. Shaw and van der Schyff are needed because Gareth Maclure and John Beattie are injured. Maclure has an achilles problem, and Beattie is recovering from a dead leg, an injury received while he was playing for Scotland under-21 against the Newcastle Falcons Academy at Galashiels on Monday.
McFarlane, who also played for Scotland under-21 on Monday, provides scrum-half cover for Graeme Beveridge. Sam Pinder is unavailable because of recent surgery, as is Colin Gregor, the stand-off who had been earmarked as emergency scrum-half.
Glasgow's casualty list extends well beyond those mentioned above. A complete team could be made up with all those unavailable, adding on Lee Harrison, Fergus Thomson, Euan Murray, Nathan Ross, Donnie Macfadyen, and Rory Kerr.
