Stuart Hogg returns as Glasgow announce team for Champions Cup quarter-final
The 26-year-old will appear at Allianz Park for his first appearance since injuring his shoulder in Scotland’s Guinness Six Nations defeat to Ireland.
Kyle Steyn scored his first try for the club in last weekend’s victory over the Cheetahs at Scotstoun. He switches from centre to wing this Saturday with Rory Hughes completing the back-three.

Ali Price is brought back into the starting XV and combines with Adam Hastings in the half-backs.
It is an unChanged pack from last Saturday’s game at Scotstoun.
George Horne has returned from injury to be selected among the replacements and Jonny Gray will also look to make an impact off the bench.
Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Dave Rennie said: “It’s a massive weekend and exactly the kind of game we want to be competing in.
“We know Saracens well having played them twice already this season. We tested them for big chunks of those games and know that if we play at our best for 80 minutes we have the firepower to make it to the semi-finals.”
