Glasgow head coach Sean Lineen is urging his players to play like league leaders when they meet Gloucester in Heineken Cup action on Friday.
The Warriors snatched the top spot of the Magners League with a 25-13 win over Ulster in Belfast, but are bottom of their group in the European tournament.
"It's a tale of two tables," said Lineen. "In the Magners League we're at the top but in the Heineken Cup we're at the bottom.
"We need to play like a team that's at the top of the Magners League to do our current position justice."
Defeat
Glasgow, who were defeated by Dragons and Biarritz in their opening Pool 2 games, have made three changes to the line-up that prevailed in Northern Ireland.
Scotland joint-captain Chris Cusiter has been reinstalled to the number nine jersey and Peter Murchie replaces youngster Alex Dunbar on the wing, while Dan Turner takes over from Tim Barker in the pack.
Thom Evans has consequently moved to the right wing and Richie Gray moves to the left hand side of the scrum.
Meanwhile, Gloucester head coach Bryan Redpath returns to Scotland ready to claim victory over his countrymen.
The former Scotland scrum-half will be in high spirits following the Cherry and Whites' 25-13 Guinness Premiership win over Newcastle Falcons.
Glasgow: 15 Bernardo Stortoni, 14 Colin Shaw, 13 David McCall, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Thom Evans, 10 Dan Parks, 9 Chris Cusiter, 8 John Beattie, 7 John Barclay, 6 Richie Vernon, 5 Alastair Kellock, 4 Tim Barker, 3 Moray Low, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 John Welsh.
Replacements: 16 Pat MacArthur, 17 Kevin Tkachuk, 18 Ed Kalman, 19 Dan Turner, 20 Colin Gregor, 21 Hefin O'Hare, 22 Peter Horne, 23 Kelly Brown.
