SCOTLAND prop Gordon Reid will make his 100th appearance for Glasgow Warriors when they face Leicester in tomorrow's Champions Cup opener.

Gregor Townsend's side begin their European campaign against the English giants at a sold out Scotstoun on Friday night, hoping for an improvement on last season's third-place pool stage finish.

The head coach has selected Reid in his starting line-up to become a Warriors centurion, while fellow Scotland international Stuart Hogg starts at full-back after signing a new contract yesterday.

“The European Rugby Champions Cup is a brilliant tournament to be involved in and an opportunity for us to play the best teams in Europe," said Townsend.

“Leicester have been one of Europe’s leading sides for a number of years and we know they’ll provide a tough test tomorrow night.

“But there is a lot of excitement within our squad and we’re looking forward to opening our campaign at home in front of a sold out Scotstoun.”
