Scotland coach Vern Cotter has reinforced his Six Nations squad by calling up five further players ahead of Saturday's match against Italy at Murrayfield.
Sale scrum-half Chris Cusiter and Exeter Chiefs prop Moray Low have been drafted in after recovering from the injuries that kept them out of the initial selection, while Edinburgh No 8 David Denton returns after tearing a calf in the pre-Championship training camp in Glasgow last month.
Glasgow Warriors pair Adam Ashe and Alex Allan have also been added to the squad as replacements for their club team-mates Jon Welsh and Gordon Reid, who are out with hand and knee injuries respectively.
The quintet joined the remainder of the squad in training on Monday morning.
Scotland lost their opening Six Nations match 15-8 to France in Paris before going down 26-23 to Wales at Murrayfield last time out.
