    Adam Hastings starts for the first time since returning to Glasgow over the summer after being handed the number 10 jersey for tonight's game.

    The 27-year-old Scotland stand-off came off the bench in the second half of last weekend's agonising 20-19 defeat away to Ulster.

    Hastings takes over at fly-half from Tom Jordan, who switches to inside-centre.

    There are six changes to the starting XV made by head coach Franco Smith in total, including an entirely changed front row.

    Scotland prop and 2021 British and Irish Lions squad member Rory Sutherland is in line for a debut off the bench.

    George Horne and Scott Cummings return to the matchday squad as substitutes after missing the defeat at Ulster through injury, but fellow Scotland internationals Jack Dempsey and Huw Jones continue to be among the Warriors' absentees.

    Glasgow Warriors v Benetton (19:35)
