Gordon Reid joined the Glasgow set-up on a full-time basis aged 24 ahead of season 2011/12 after delivering a string of standout performances for Ayr in Premier 1.

After an impressive stint he then signed a contract extension in 2014, which will keep him at Scotstoun until at least May 2017.

He then made his debut for Scotland in the first match of the 2014 summer tour against the USA in Houston and went on to play against Canada and Argentina on that tour.
