Wilson has been isolating and missed the win over Exeter Chiefs in the Champions Cup last month.

He has been selected at blindside flanker, with Matt Fagerson shifting to No 8. Wilson’s inclusion is one of two personnel changes made by head coach Danny Wilson.

The on-form Jack Dempsey is unavailable for the match against Ospreys along with lock Richie Gray who also drops out. Gray is replaced in the second row by Kiran McDonald who is making his first start of the season.

Tongan international winger Walter Fifita could make his Glasgow debut after being named on the bench.

Price captains the side for the third game in a row. Fraser Brown, Glasgow’s other co-captain, is among the replacements having recovered from a knee injury.
