Scotland shuffle squad as they wait on star duo for England clash

SQUAD ANNOUNCEMENT: Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has added three players to their squad for Saturday’s Six Nations clash against England at Twickenham.

Ross McCann, Ali Price and Cameron Redpath have been called to the squad that is in Spain currently preparing for the Round Three showdown.

Scrumhalf Price has replaced George Horne in the squad, who suffered a facial injury in Glasgow Warriors’ victory over Dragons on Sunday, and is yet to join the squad in Spain.

Edinburgh centre Matt Currie was another casualty over the weekend, suffering a concussion in the loss to Zebre on Friday. Redpath will provide cover in the midfield this week in Scotland’s preparation for the Calcutta Cup.

The final change to the squad is not a like-for-like replacement as winger Ross McCann has come in to replace Soyaux Angoulême No.8 Alexander Masibaka.

Both Finn Russell and Darcy Graham have remained with the squad after both suffering head injuries in an accidental collision in their last match.

Scotland confirmed that the pair have been progressing through their concussion protocols.

Scotland will be looking to bounce back from a comprehensive loss to Ireland in Edinburgh in round two. England, meanwhile, will arrive at their HQ buoyed by a dramatic victory over France.
