Weir to make final Warriors appearance against Zebre

Duncan Weir will make his final appearance for Glasgow Warriors from the bench when they host lowly Zebre on Saturday.

Former Scotland fly-half Weir, 34, won the Pro12 title with Warriors in 2012 and has made more than 150 appearances for the club across two spells.

The stalwart is to "step back" from playing to take an academy coaching role at the club.

"Duncan embodies what it means to be a Glasgow Warrior," head coach Franco Smith told the Warriors website.

Weir is joined among the replacements by academy prospect Jack Oliver, who is named in the 23-man squad for the first time.

In the starting XV, Euan Ferrie returns from injury, and Duncan Munn makes his first appearance of the season in a heavily rotated side.

Glasgow Warriors XV to face Zebre: Smith, Munn, McDowall, Yule, Dobie, Hastings, Afashar; Schickerling, Stephen, Richardson, Oguntibeju, Williamson, Ferrie, Darge, Duncan.

Replacements: Hiddleston, Sutherland, Talakai, Craig, Miller, Oliver, Weir, Lancaster.
