Mark McMillan is relishing his return to Scotland this summer after signing a two-year-deal with Glasgow Warriors.

The scrum-half, a Heineken Cup winner in 2007 with Wasps and former Scotland U21 captain, enjoyed a previous spell with Glasgow in season 2003-04, making his debut in the Celtic Cup victory over Celtic Warriors at Bridgend.

He joined Leeds Tykes in 2004 before heading to London in 2006 where opportunities have been limited.

On his return to Glasgow, McMillan, a product of the Stirling County club, explained his excitement regarding the move.

“I'm really looking forward to joining up with Glasgow again. They have a very hungry and ambitious squad and I'm no different,” he said.

“By returning to Scotland, I'm not only looking to enhance my own international ambitions, but I thoroughly believe that Glasgow have a squad of boys that will continue to push at the top end of the Magners League and in Europe.”

Meanwhile, Warriors Head Coach Sean Lineen is a keen admirer of the number nine and delighted to have secured his services.

“I remember Mark from when I first started with Glasgow,” Lineen said.

“He epitomises the Scottish spirit.

“Mark has always been professional in his approach and he'll be a fantastic addition to our team. I see him as a real leader.”
