Graeme Morrison will make his first start since October when Glasgow host Treviso in RaboDirect Pro12 action on Friday night.
What they said...
Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend
"It's fantastic to have Graeme and Alex back for selection and it gives us yet more options in the midfield to add to an already deep list of talent.
"Alex was in fine form until he suffered his injury and it will be great to see him getting back to that level of performance.
"Everyone knows exactly what kind of influence Graeme can have on a match and against a tough side like Treviso, it's great to have someone of his experience at inside-centre.
"The selection this week again highlights the quality available to us as coaches and the fact that even with three changes to the back-line, it's still a very strong line-up."
