Morrison, who will start for Scotland in their opening Six Nations clash against Wales on Sunday, is one of the club's longest serving players.

Since signing in 2003 he has made 106 competitive appearances and scored 17 tries.

He also captained Glasgow for the first time in the recent Heineken Cup victory over Newport Gwent Dragons.

He said: "We've got a reasonably young core of players at Glasgow and it's clear to see that we have progressed, and are still progressing, as a club.

"The two close games against Bath and the away win over Toulouse speak volumes in terms of how far we have come.

"I remember playing against Toulouse in my second season with Glasgow and it's now clear to see we've come on leaps and bounds since then.

"I'm looking forward to being part of a successful Glasgow team and achieving something special with the Warriors over the coming years."

Glasgow head coach Sean Lineen added: "Graeme has been with us for a while now.

"He has matured into a good leader and wants to establish himself in the Glasgow and Scotland number 12 jerseys.

"I'm delighted he sees the progress Glasgow are making and the ambition he has to stay and win something with Glasgow."
