DTH selected in Canada squad

It wasn’t just the club’s Scotland stars that had reason to celebrate – Canada’s selection of DTH van der Merwe in their final squad means that Glasgow’s record try-scorer will be heading to his fourth Rugby World Cup, as he prepares to face the likes of New Zealand and South Africa in Pool B.

Three more years for Oli

The week started off on the best of notes for the Warrior Nation, with the news that Oli Kebble had signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until the summer of 2022. Both the man himself and the Scotstoun faithful were – it’s fair to say – delighted with the news.
