Glasgow Warriors team for the inter-city clash against Edinburgh Gunners (Friday 29 Sep, Murrayfield, 7.30pm) has been named today.

Head coach Sean Lineen has rung the changes following the defeat to Cardiff Blues in a side which sees four changes in the backs (one positional) and a bench with only two personnel remaining from last week.

In the backs, Sean Marsden wins his second start for the Warriors, this time at fullback, with Graeme Morrison rejoining the squad at outside centre, Andy Henderson reverting to inside centre and stand-off Colin Gregor gets his first start of the season.

Gregor was the starting stand-off the last time the Warriors faced the Gunners, a match which ended 46-6 in the Glaswegians favour.

The forward unit remains intact while on the bench, Kevin Tkachuk and Dan Turner are the only ones remaining from last week. Joining them, the first time he's been named in the senior squad this season as he returns from injury, is hooker Scott Lawson who is celebrating his 25th birthday today plus fellow Scotland players Donnie Macfadyen and Dan Parks. Also on the bench are Scott Barrow and National Academy player Ben Addison.
