Promising 20-year old Shannonbridge prop Conor Higgins is among the replacements.

There is little for bottom-placed Connacht to play for but Warriors coach Sean Lineen says it is important they finish on a high, with some young players gaining valuable match experience.

"Looking to the future, I'm really excited by the young players coming through and the attitude and enthusiasm they've brought to the team," said the coach.

Lineen is without eight first-team players and has been forced into a number of changes.

The versatile back Hefin O'Hare replaces centre Max Evans, whose younger brother Thom is also out after suffering a calf injury.

He will be replaced by fellow Scotland 7s international Colin Shaw.

At scrumhalf, Colin Gregor will start, while prop Kevin Tkachuk is preferred to Jon Welsh and young lock Richie Gray starts for the first time in front of a home crowd.

Blindside flanker James Eddie returns in place of Opeta Palepoi, with Kelly Brown at openside and Calum Forrester at number eight.

Glasgow Warriors:B Stortoni; L Fa'atau, H O'Hare, G Morrison, C Shaw; R Jackson, C Gregor; K Tkachuk, F Thomson, M Low; R Gray, A Kellock (capt); J Eddie, K Brown, C Forrester. Replacements: P MacArthur, J Welsh, D Turner, S Swindall, M McMillan, P Horne,
