Gregor Hayter is among Glasgow's substitutes
Glasgow Warriors have named their team for Saturday's Heineken Cup match with Leinster in Dublin.

Back row forward John Beattie is suffering from a respiratory infection and is unavailable for selection so captain Jon Petrie moves to No.8 and John Barclay starts at openside flanker with Gregor Hayter coming onto the bench. In the second row, Dan Turner starts and Tim Barker takes his place on the bench.

Hugh Campbell said: "Leinster are sitting third in the Celtic League and have been performing exceptionally well in the Heineken Cup and are still very much in contention for a quarter final place so this will be a challenging game that we are eagerly anticipating.

"Playing against a full strength Leinster team in Dublin is an exciting prospect and we want to build on the improvements that we've made in recent weeks."

Unavailable due to injury/illness: Scott Barrow (groin), John Beattie (respiratory infection), Stuart Corsar (knee), Paul Dearlove (head (stitches)), Calvin Howarth (ankle), Donnie Macfadyen (knee), Ben Prescott (shoulder), Colin Shaw (knee), Andrew Wilson (ankle)

Can someone explain to me how Mike Roberts gets selected to play for Glasgow when he was red-carded for a head-butt on Ally Maclay of Hawks on 17 December at Millbrae?

Is there one rule for club players and a different one for professionals?

He wasn't red-carded for the headbutt, he got a second yellow card, which led to him being sent off. I understand he got a two week ban, which he has now served.

A two-week ban for a head butt? Who was on the committee that decided that? Martin Johnson? I'll bet Gavin Henson would like a taste of that kind of justice?

Have you checked the video clip a head but is a head but and if he had been a club player the book would have been thrown at him
