Johnny Matthews and Pat O’Toole have both been added to Dave Rennie’s squad ahead of the trip to the Kingspan Stadium, with both men having trained with the club over the summer.



Liverpudlian Matthews – who is Scottish qualified courtesy of his Glaswegian mother – joins the club from Boroughmuir, having caught the eye over the course of the 2018/19 Tennent’s Premiership season.



The 26-year-old ended the season as the league’s top try scorer, crossing for 19 tries in a season that saw his side finish seventh in the final standings.



The hooker’s try-scoring prowess also shone through during a spell at Sedgley Park, where he scored 29 tries in 26 appearances during the 2016/17 season.



He has previously been involved with Scotland at U18 level, as well as turning out for the Scotland Club XV.



Speaking to glasgowwarriors.org, Matthews said: “I’m absolutely delighted to sign.



“Glasgow is one of the biggest clubs in Europe and I’m looking forward to hopefully getting a few games under my belt while I’m here.



“I like to get my hands on the ball, attack and be physical around the park. My goal is just to keep my head down and work hard, and give my all for the club.”



O’Toole came through the ranks at Connacht and arrives at Scotstoun following a spell in the USA’s Major League Rugby competition with Houston Saber Cats.



The 24-year-old made 12 appearances for the Connacht Eagles in the British and Irish Cup, as well as earning Ireland U19 recognition.



He is also eligible to represent the USA, and was selected for the USA Select XV in the Americas Pacific Challenge.



“It’s a great opportunity for me,” O’Toole told glasgowwarriors.org.



“I’m really pleased to be here. To be going back to Ireland and seeing a few familiar faces this weekend is a great way to start.”
