Glasgow coach Sean Lineen has responded to his side's defeat to The Dragons by making five changes for the Heineken Cup clash against Toulouse.
Lineen was highly critical of his side following the Magners League loss - and although the Warriors have no chance of qualifying from Pool Five, he has still responded with changes.
Dougie Hall, Dan Turner, Colin Gregor, Ruaridh Jackson and Jose Maria Núñez Piossek all start for Glasgow, while winger Thom Evans is just one try away from reaching 100 points for the club.
"It's a big challenge this weekend and it'll take something special to beat one of the best teams in Europe," Lineen said.
"However, we need to put in a performance that the players and the supporters can be proud of."
Toulouse have been boosted by news Frédéric Michalak has passed a late fitness test and will start at fly-half alogside fellow French international Jean-Baptiste Elissalde.
Up front Patricio Albacete and Romain Millo-Chluski form the second row pairing, meaning new France A manager Fabien Pelous will have to settle for a place on the bench.
Toulouse: 15 Clément Poitrenaud, 14 Vincent Clerc, 13 Maleli Kunavore, 12 Yannick Jauzion, 11 Cédric Heymans, 10 Frédéric Michalak, 9 Jean-Baptiste Elissalde, 8 Shaun Sowerby, 7 Yannick Nyanga, 6 Jean Bouilhou, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Romain Millo-Chluski, 3 Salvatore Perugini, 2 Virgile Lacombe, 1 Jean-Baptiste Poux.
Replacements: 16 Alberto Vernet Basualdo, 17 Daan Human, 18 Fabien Pelous, 19 Grégory Lamboley, 20 Byron Kelleher, 21 Florian Fritz, 22 Gaffie du Toit.
Glasgow: 15 Bernardo Stortoni, 14 Jose Maria Núñez Piossek, 13 Max Evans, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Thom Evans, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Colin Gregor, 8 Kelly Brown, 7 John Barclay, 6 James Eddie, 5 Alastair Kellock (c), 4 Dan Turner, 3 Moray Low, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Justin Va'a.
Replacements: 16 Fergus Thomson, 17 Ed Kalman, 18 Richie Vernon, 19 Johnnie Beattie, 20 Dan Parks, 21 Andrew Henderson, 22 Hefin O'Hare.
