ERIC CALLED UP BY GLASGOW


Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Hugh Campbell has made one change in the backs from the team that beat Bourgoin last week in the Heineken Cup for the starting XV to face The Ospreys at Old Anniesland in the Celtic League tomorrow evening: Graeme Morrison starts at inside centre in place of Andy Henderson.

On the bench, Glasgow Hawks’ Eric Milligan lines up in the replacement front row while Ben Cairns, the Edinburgh Gunners apprentice, Currie and Scotland sevens centre joins the Glasgow backs.

Hugh Campbell said: “We’ve received very good feedback regarding Ben’s progress with Edinburgh and with our current situation of Scott Barrow out through injury and Andy Henderson rested, we are delighted to be able to include a player of Ben’s quality in our side. Eric has played very well for us in the past. He’s a very versatile player who gives us great options in the front row.”

Tomorrow night’s game also marks captain Jon Petrie’s 150th appearance for Glasgow. Campbell added: “Jon has got a tremendous record for Glasgow. He brings so much to the squad, not only on the field of play but in his qualities as a leader and we’re delighted to see him make his 150th appearance for the team.”
