Glasgow face a prop crisis after dramatic events against Munster at Hughenden at the weekend cost them the services of Euan Murray, who won his first cap in the summer. With Stuart Corsar, his replacement, also coming off, and Ben Prescott out for the rest of the year, the club is starting to run out of fit players despite recording their first win of the season with, by far, their best performance.
The expected return of Kevin Tkachuk next week could ease some of the pressure but he and Lee Harrison could have a busy time ahead.
Euan looks likely to miss a few weeks' action, just as he was starting to make a case to Frank Hadden, the new Scotland coach, for a regular place in the international starting line-up.
