Scotland lock Gregor Brown is among three changes for the trip to face Ulster on Friday night as Glasgow Warriors bid to secure top spot in the URC.
Brown will make his first outing since Scotland's final match of the Six Nations against Ireland two months ago.
Nathan McBeth comes into the front row to join Johnny Matthews and Zander Fagerson.
And Macenzzie Duncan is drafted into the back-row, with no place in the squad for Jack Dempsey in Glasgow's final regular-season match.
Warriors are a point clear of Stormers and a bonus-point win at Ulster will secure top spot - and with it top seeding and home advantage in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.
Head coach Franco Smith said: "Ulster are a quality team who will be desperate to make it into the play-offs andcontinue their run of form ahead of the Challenge Cup final next week.
"We are pleased to welcome Gregor back. He has worked hard with our medical and strength and conditioning teams to put himself in the best position possible, and he is eager to get back onto the field."
Glasgow Warriors: McBeth, Matthews, Z Fagerson, Brown, Samuel, Miller, M Fagerson, Duncan; Horne, Lancaster, Rowe, Tuipulotu, McDowall, Steyn, McKay.
Replacements: Hiddleston, Sutherland, Talakai, Oguntibeju, Ferry, Vailanu, Afshar, Smith.
