Glasgow Caledonians head coach Richie Dixon believes the return of international Graeme Beveridge against Neath on Friday will supply the inspiration to kick-start their season.

The Reds have been hit by a crippling injury crisis which has seen them lose scrum-halves Beveridge, Andy Nicol and Fraser Stott in recent weeks.

But Beveridge has declared himself fit for Friday's clash against Neath after back injury.

Black drops to the bench for the Hughenden clash while Caley make two other changes to the team with Roland Reid and Tommy Hayes both ruled out.

Reid, who scored three tries against Cross Keys on Sunday and one at Bridgend, has a leg injury while Hayes has a back problem.

Gareth Flockhart replaces Reid as blind-side flanker and Rowen Shepherd returns at full-back with Mark McKenzie switching to stand-off.

Neath

Neath, meanwhile, have signed Tongan international back row forward Katilimoni Tuipulou - better known as Kati - on a two year contract from Dunvant.

He will make his debut against Glasgow on Friday night.

Delme Williams comes into the team on the right wing to start his first game of the season since being injured on the Wales Development Tour. He replaces Craig Morris.

Neath also shuffle their back row - to accommodate Tuipolu's arrival. Ricahrd Francis moves to blind-side flanker and Rowland Phillips to number eight. Teams
