Fergus Thomson is back in Glasgow colours after injury
Hooker Fergus Thomson will make his return to first team action on Sunday when Glasgow Warriors take on Bath in the Heineken Cup at Firhill (ko 2.00pm).
Head coach Sean Lineen said: “It’s important the boys make a statement after last weekend’s game. It was entertaining but it wasn’t a win.
“Bath have made it quite clear that they’re coming here looking to win but the crowd at Firhill have been fantastic and they’ll be our 16th man on Sunday.”
Fergus lines up in an entirely new front row from the one that faced Bath just last weekend with Justin Va'a replacing Kevin Tkachuk and Moray Low being promoted ahead of Ed Kalman.
In the second row, Scotland ‘A’ international Dan Turner comes in for captain Alastair Kellock who is resting a shoulder injury. Dan Parks will wear the captain’s armband in Al’s absence.
