Ryan Grant called up to Scotland squad

Ryan Grant has been recalled to the Scotland squad ahead of the upcoming Six Nations tournament after being acquitted of an assault charge.

The British & Irish Lions prop was excluded from selection while the case was ongoing.

However, now that is has been dropped, coach Vern Cotter has opted to name the Glasgow Warriors player among his party.

A brief statement read: "Glasgow Warriors loose-head prop Ryan Grant has been added to the Scotland squad for the forthcoming RBS 6 Nations."

Scotland kick off their campaign with a trip to face France in Paris next weekend, which is followed up by the visit of Wales a week later.
