Ali Price, Cameron Redpath and Ross McCann have been added to the Scotland squad for Saturday's Six Nations visit to England.

Matt Currie drops out with a concussion suffered during Edinburgh's loss to Zebre on Friday and Alexander Masibaka has returned to Soyaux-Angouleme in the French second tier after a surprise call for the opening win over Italy and following defeat by Ireland.

Scrum-half George Horne sustained a facial injury in Glasgow's victory against the Dragons on Sunday and is still being assessed.

Edinburgh number nine Price, capped 68 times, has not featured since starting the autumn win over Fiji.

Fit-again Bath centre Redpath made his debut in the 2021 win over England at Twickenham, the first of four successive Scotland victories in this fixture.

Edinburgh winger McCann made his one international appearance in last summer's 73-12 win over Canada.

Darcy Graham and Finn Russell remain in the squad while progressing through concussion protocols after suffering head knocks in a first-half collision against Ireland.

Scotland are still without Sione Tuipulotu, Dylan Richardson, Scott Cummings, Josh Bayliss, Kyle Steyn, Adam Hastings, Max Williamson, Andy Onyeama-Christie and Ben Muncaster.
