Six Nations: Scotland recall Grant for Six Nations squad following end of court case

Glasgow Warriors prop Ryan Grant has been recalled to Scotland's Six Nations squad after assault charges against him were found "not proven".

The former British and Irish Lion was left out of Vern Cotter's original 32-man squad while the case against him went to court.

But after the charges were found "not proven" at Glasgow Sheriff Court last week, the Scottish Rugby Union has cleared the 29-year-old to return.

In a brief statement, Scotland chiefs confirmed: "Glasgow Warriors loose-head prop Ryan Grant has been added to the Scotland squad."

Warriors team-mate and fellow Dark Blues international Ryan Wilson faces a disciplinary hearing next week after he was convicted of a double assault.

The flanker was suspended by the Scottish Rugby Union last week after being convicted of assaulting two men, including fellow rugby player Ally Maclay, during a Halloween night out in October 2013.

Kirkcaldy-born Grant - who has been capped 19 times for his country since his 2012 debut - will rejoin the Scotland squad at Murrayfield on Monday as preparations for Saturday's championship opener against France in Paris are stepped up.
