By Josh Raisey
Gloucester fly-half Adam Hastings is set to make his return from injury on Friday against the Ospreys in the Challenge Cup quarter-final at Kingsholm.

The 27-year-old is poised to come straight back into the starting XV in his first match since injuring his knee in January, with George Skivington handing him the No10 jersey.
The match will come just two days after Hastings’ departure at the end of the season was announced. The 27-cap Scotland international will end his three-year stint in the Gallagher Premiership by rejoining Glasgow Warriors.

Though Gloucester sit in ninth place in the league with four rounds to go, virtually ruling them out of the play-offs, they have a chance to add to this season’s Premiership Rugby Cup with a European trophy as well.
A win would mean Hastings can extend his Gloucester career by another game, with five games remaining as it stands in cherry and white.
