Glasgow v Treviso: Teams

Glasgow Warriors return to Magners League duty as they welcome Treviso to Firhill on Friday night.

The Warriors continue to be without many of their frontline players as they weather a period where 17 players are currently unavailable for selection.

However, they are able to list the likes of Moray Low, Rob Harley and Johnnie Beattie in their forward pack - an area where Glasgow expect to be fully tested in addition to Treviso's attacking threats out wide.

The Warriors have made seven personnel changes, plus two positional switches, for the visit of the Italians.

In the forwards, Scotland prop Low returns to bolster the front row alongside loosehead Jon Welsh who makes his comeback from a rib injury.

Flanker Rob Harley and No.8 Johnnie Beattie are reinstated to the back-row having featured off the bench in the Warriors' last outing against the Ospreys a fortnight ago, Ryan Wilson moves from No.8 to openside flanker as part of the reshuffle.

Bernardo Stortoni is also promoted from the replacements whilst his fellow countryman Federico Aramburu has fully recovered from the flu and starts at outside centre. Alex Dunbar will also start in place of the injured DTH van der Merwe.

Treviso themselves have won just once in their last seven encounters and have also proven to be bad travellers with their only victory on the road this season coming at Aironi.
