GRAHAM McKee, the 22-year-old Glasgow High/Kelvinside prop who led the
Scottish team in the Students World Cup last month, is the only newcomer
in the Glasgow team for the Hughenden match against Leinster a week on
Saturday. His selection fills the loose-head vacancy caused by an ankle
injury to Stirling County's John Gibson.
Nine others remain from the Glasgow team who beat Edinburgh in the
Inter-city match in April whereas David McKee, Angus Turner, David
McVey, Malcolm Norval, and evergreen 36-year-old Stewart Hamilton,
return to district duty.
Kenny Logan, the Stirling youngster who was capped against Australia
in June, will be in his Scotland role at full back, but Glasgow's other
international player, Alan Watt, is in South Africa. The latter's GHK
colleague, Shade Munro was ruled out by ankle damage.
Yet another Old Anniesland forward, Andy Ness, could not be considered
because of his commitments with the national sevens squad. Nor could
Derek Stark, who has switched from Ayr to Boroughmuir, and Ian Jardine,
Stirling County's forceful centre. 0 Team:
K M Logan (Stirling County); G S Agnew (GHK), S McIntosh, D R McKee (W
of Scotland), A S M Turner (Stirling County); D N Barrett, F H Stott

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
