IAIN HENDERSON WILL make his first Ulster start in almost four months in Friday night’s trip to Glasgow Warriors (7.35pm).

Henderson missed the entirety of Ireland’s Six Nations campaign with a hamstring injury but returns as one of four changes for the Pro12 clash in Scotstoun.

Stuart McCloskey, Callum Black and Alan O’Connor also return to the side which beat Zebre three weeks ago.

Paddy Jackson will win his 100th cap for the province when he again partners Ruan Pienaar in the half-backs.

Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend can call on 18 players from Scotland’s Six Nations squad, including Player of the Championship nominee Stuart Hogg who starts at full-back.
