Glasgow Warriors boosted as quartet are released from Scotland camp
Glasgow Warriors are back in action tonight when they host Zebre in their first outing since putting Sale Sharks to the sword in the Champions Cup four weeks ago, and they are boosted by the availability of scrum-half George Horne, hooker George Turner, flanker Tom Gordon and winger Kyle Steyn, who have all been involved in the wider Scotland training squad during the last month but have had minimal game-time involvement.
Horne, Turner and Gordon are named in the starting XV against Zebre, while Steyn is on the bench, and all four will be conscious that this is a chance to state their case for a call-up to the Scotland matchday squad to take on Italy in Rome next Saturday.

We’re rapt to have them back in and expect to see some impact from them.”
