Jono Gibbes has named his Ulster side for Saturday's rearranged Pro 14 fixture against the Glasgow Warriors (6.05).

The province head into the fixture on the back of wins over Ospreys and Edinburgh, and Gibbes has made one change in the back line, with Luke Marshall joining Stuart McCloskey in midfield.

Charles Piutau starts at fullback as his time with the province nears its end, while John Cooney and Johnny McPhillips form the halfbacks.

Up front Rob Herring returns to the starting line-up at hooker, while Nick Timoney, Sean Reidy and Jean Deysel form the backrow.
