Bhatti & Horne among five returning Scotland players for Warriors

Glasgow welcome back five players from Scotland's Six Nations camp for the URC game with Dragons at Rodney Parade on Sunday.

George Horne, Jamie Bhatti, Euan Ferrie, Jack Mann and Ollie Smith all start, while there is a return from injury for second-row Jare Oguntibeju, who has caught the eye in his three appearances so far.

Youngsters Duncan Munn, Fin Richardson and Alex Samuel keep their places from the side that beat Connacht three weeks ago.

Grant Stewart makes a first start of the season at hooker, with Johnny Matthews only taking a spot on the bench, and Smith continues at outside centre.

Duncan Weir captains for the second consecutive game from fly-half, while Argentine winger Sebastian Cancelliere makes his 50th Warriors appearance.

On the bench, there are potential debutants for back-row Maccenzie Duncan and winger Kerr Johnston.

Glasgow are second in the table while Dragons lie eight points adrift at the bottom.

Warriors head coach Franco Smith said: "We know the Dragons have talented players throughout their squad, and will be playing for a passionate home support.

"We're also pleased to include Macenzzie and Kerr in our matchday 23 once more, and to see Sebastian reach 50 appearances - he is someone who knows what it means to be a Warrior and always gives 100%."

Glasgow Warriors: McKay, Cancelliere, Smith, Munn, Cordero; Weir (c), Horne; Bhatti, Stewart, Richardson, Oguntibeju, Samuel, Ferrie, Venter, Mann.

Replacements: Matthews, McBeth, Schickerling, Miller, Fraser, Duncan, Afshar, Johnston.
