Glasgow Warriors are able to call upon Josh McKay and Henco Venter for Friday's URC quarter-final against Stormers, but will be without Scotland centre Huw Jones who has an Achilles problem.

McKay returns from injury while Venter is available again following suspension amid several changes to the side beaten by Leinster in the final match of Glasgow's regular league season.

Gregor Hiddleston and Murphy Walker join Jamie Bhatti in the front row and Scott Cummings partners Alex Samuel in the second row.

George Horne and Tom Jordan are the preferred half-backs, Stafford McDowall replaces Huw Jones alongside Sione Tuipulotu, while Kyle Rowe shifts to the wing to accommodate McKay at full-back.

"The Stormers will pose one of the most dangerous attacking threats in the competition tomorrow night, and we know that we must be at our best to meet the challenge they will bring," head coach Franco Smith said.

"They have the ability to hurt any team with ball in hand, mixing a physical forward pack with a backline that can spark something from anywhere.

"We know how special an atmosphere Scotstoun can provide on nights like these."

Glasgow Warriors XV to face Stormers: McKay, Rowe, McDowall, Tuipulotu, Steyn, Jordan, Horne; Bhatti, Hiddleston, Walker, Samuel, Cummings, Ferrie, Darge, Venter.

Replacements: Matthews, McBeth, Talakai, Williamson, Mann, Duncan, Dobie, Hastings.
