Donnie Macfadyen will skipper Glasgow against Llanelli
Glasgow Warriors have made one change to the starting XV to face The Scarlets from the team that narrowly missed out to Celtic League leaders Leinster last weekend.

Club captain Jon Petrie returns to the side in place of Andrew Wilson but openside flanker Donnie Macfadyen retains the team captaincy.

Head coach Sean Lineen said: "This is our last home game of the season and obviously the players need to play with the same passion and determination as they did last week against Leinster and if they do, I think they will get the victory that they deserve. I was pleased with the performance of the youngsters in the side last week and looking to tomorrow night, we need to look after the ball better going forward and go to the same lengths in attack as we did last week with our solid defending."

Good to see Sean keeping faith with the guys from the Leinster game, reckon Andrew Wilson can feel a bit hard done by dropping out of Squad completely, seems harsh. Hopefully Donnie Mac can rally the guys for one big push in our last home game of the season, a win on Friday must be a real prospect. Lets hope the supporters turn up in their numbers and make some noise.

Think you're right about Manchild - his performance on Sunday ought to have earned him his place on Friday. Hopefully, he'll be able to come on and make an impact during the game.

Well done to Donnie on retaining the captaincy, though - his leadership obviously had a large effect on the team attitude, so let's see them get the win against Llanelli.

What was the song Auckland Blues used to play, "Come on be the noise, Shout it out for boys, We're here to win the game..."

My mate made a suggestion on Sunday night - what we need is a drum!! That would make some noise!!!

When you're not allowed to stand up, put you're feet on empty chairs, or sit in the Gold Section just incase a couple of hundred people suddenly bought Gold Season tickets, Flares might be going to far! Its a shame though because they look good at other European rugby grounds, and the Muster fans regularly have them at Thomond Park!!
