Zander Fagerson is in the Scotland squad for the upcoming Autumn Internationals
Vern Cotter has named fifteen Glasgow Warriors players in his Scotland squad for the upcoming Autumn Internationals.

Olympic silver medalist Mark Bennett returns to the Scotland set-up after missing this summer's tests against Japan representing Team GB.

Robert Harley is also recalled, as is Finn Russell who will feature for his country for the first time having missed the Japan tour with injury.

Zander Fagerson is included among the props after an impressive start to the season and will be looking to add to his one cap in the games against Australia, Argentina and Georgia.

Glasgow Warriors trio Nick Grigg, Rory Hughes and Ali Price are not part of the 31-squad but have been invited to train with the party.

2016 Autumn Tests:

Saturday 12 November: Scotland v Australia, BT Murrayfield (ko 2.30pm)
Saturday 19 November: Scotland v Argentina, BT Murrayfield (ko 5.00pm)
