Mark McMillan is now in his second spell with Glasgow.
Mark originally left the club in 2004 but has since returned following a successful spell in England.
A former Scotland U19 and U21 captain, Mark has represented his country at all age grades and at ‘A’ level and is currently knocking on the door for a senior cap.
He was named Scottish Young Player of the Year in 2004 and moved to Leeds Carnegie that same year.
Mark tasted glory with Leeds in the Powergen Cup during his first season in Yorkshire and that success continued when he joined Wasps in 2006.
He picked up a Heineken Cup winners medal with the London club in 2007, before claiming the Guinness Premiership crown a season later, beating Leicester Tigers in both Twickenham finals.

Best...
|
Moment in rugby
|
Winning the Guinness Premiership and Heineken Cup with Wasps
|
|
Team mate, reason why
|
Probably Graeme Morrison because he’s always consistent on the park and funny off it
|
|
Try
|
For Wasps against Bristol in February 2008. It was a must-win game to stay in hunt for Premiership title. I scored in the eighth minute of injury time. It wasn’t pretty but it meant so much
|
|
Tackle
|
I once tackled my older brother through a wall in the house...it was huge!
|
|
Magners League moment
|
Winning for Glasgow
|
|
Part of being a professional sportsman
|
Winning in a tough environment with your mates, for your mates. That makes you work hard with them and for them day in day out
|
Worst...
|
Moment in rugby
|
Relegation from the Guinness Premiership with Leeds
|
|
Ground to play at
|
Connacht’s home ground (The SportsGround) as there is always one hell of a wind!
|
|
Magners League moment
|
Losing to Ulster away 12-0 and being unable to feel my fingers in the worst conditions I have ever played in
|
|
Part of being a professional sportsman
|
Losing when you should have won
