Scotland fly-half Adam Hastings hits the comeback trail at Scotstoun on Saturday night after being named at full-back for the URC clash with the Ospreys.
Hastings has been sidelined with a fractured jaw since the end of November and has missed the whole of Scotland’s Six Nations campaign to date.
The 28-year-old suffered the injury whilst playing for Glasgow against Scarlets but is now fit to return and he could be joined in taking to the field by a player who has been absent for much longer in JP du Preez.

The giant lock, who signed from Sale Sharks in 2022, has been named on the bench and will make his first appearance in 650 days if he comes on, having been out with a knee injury.
Du Preez is selected amongst a Glasgow Warriors matchday 23 for the first time since the 2023 EPCR Challenge Cup Final after missing the entire 2023/24 season
Head coach Franco Smith said: “We’re extremely pleased to welcome JP back to the matchday 23 after his long-term injury – he was worked incredibly hard behind the scenes with our medical and S&C teams to get back to full fitness, and everyone is looking forward to seeing him pull on the jersey once more.”
