Editor

Zander Fagerson has undergone surgery for an ankle injury sustained in Glasgow Warriors’ 52-24 PRO14 victory over the Cheetahs on Saturday.

The tighthead prop, who has 18 caps for Scotland, limped off the field in the 46th minute of the clash in Bloemfontein.

A further diagnosis on his expected date of return will be provided in due course.

Meanwhile, Stuart Hogg, will return home from South Africa with immediate effect, having failed to recover from an ankle injury picked up in the 25-10 win over Munster at Scotstoun a fortnight ago.

Robbie Nairn and Adam Nicol have been drafted in to the squad as injury cover as Dave Rennie’s men prepare for this weekend’s encounter with the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth.
