This is the former hooker’s first time back in the city since retiring from professional rugby.

On the day, he will be joined by Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity patients. 13-year-old Ewan Hyslop, and 15-year-old Chloe Goodwin will also take the field. The Glasgow Children’s Hospital Chairty are the club’s official charity partner and will be recognised on Sunday with a special collection for former Scotland Women’s back-row player Siobhan Cattigan.

Glasgow Warriors and the Siobhan Cattigan Legacy of Love fund are encouraging every ticket holder to donate at least £1 at Sunday’s match.

Speaking about delivering the the match ball, Fraser said: “It will be the first time I’ve been back to a Glasgow game since I retired in the summer. It’s been great watching the club so far this season as a genuine supporter. It will be great being back in the stands though.

“Glasgow holds a very fond place in my heart. Anything I achieved in my career has been down to the platform provided by the players and staff at Scotstoun. It’s a privilege to be welcomed back for such a big game as this.

“I’ve made peace with not being out on the pitch anymore. I think saying I can sit back and enjoy the game would be a stretch of the truth. Yet I can’t wait to be able to enjoy the whole occasion as a supporter.”
