GLASGOW will reintroduce four Scottish internationalists back into the side to face Zebre this evening.

A raft of players were released back to the Scotstoun club following the national side's disastrous 19-22 defeat to Italy last week.

It was also a not a productive weekend for Warriors who went down 22-10 away to Munster on Saturday.

And head coach Gregor Townsend has decided to bring in a quartet of Sean Lamont, Peter Horne, Ryan Grant and Rob Harley to have a second chance of beating an Italian team.

He said: "This is our last game for three weeks, so we're determined to finish this block of matches on a high.

"We're expecting a very tough game from a Zebre side who have shown a lot of improvement in the past two weeks and had a good win against the Dragons last weekend. So we'll have to be fully focussed this evening.

"With just six games left of the regular season we know the importance of each match as we look to try and qualify for the play-offs."

As well as the four returning from international duty, Townsend also makes another three changes to his starting XV for the GUINNESS PRO12 crunch match.

Flanker Chris Fusaro returns following a three-month lay-off due to an ankle injury sustained in the defeat away to Toulouse last December.

Peter Murchie will play his fourth consecutive game at full-back, with Lee Jones coming in on the right wing and Niko Matawalu moving to scrum-half in place of Murray McConnell. DTH van der Merwe continues on the opposite wing.

Lamont starts at outside centre in place of Richie Vernon and will form a new partnership with Canadian international Connor Braid, who moves from fly-half to replace Fraser Lyle.

Horne wears the No.10 jersey and he'll link up with Niko Matawalu, who switches from the wing to scrum-half.

In the pack Grant replaces Alex Allan at loose-head, Kevin Bryce comes in for Pat MacArthur at hooker and after scoring his first try for the club last weekend, Rossouw de Klerk continues at tight-head.

Harley comes in for James Eddie in the second-row to make his first appearance for Glasgow since December and he'll partner Al Kellock in the engine room.

Adam Ashe and Josh Strauss continue at blindside and No.8 respectively, with Fusaro in at openside in place of Will Bordill.

Townsend added: "We're delighted to be able to include Chris (Fusaro) once again and welcome back four players who were involved with Scotland last weekend."
