Euan Ferrie has joined up with Scotland's Six Nations squad
Glasgow's Ollie Smith and Euan Ferrie are among five players called up by Gregor Townsend ahead of the opening weekend of the Guinness Six Nations when Scotland take on Italy at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

Cameron Henderson, Ewan Johnson and Alexander Masibaka are the other players to join up with the squad.

Uncapped Euan Ferrie was a member of the URC winning Glasgow Warriors squad last season and has previously trained with the national team. Since returning from injury Ferrie has played the last three games for Warriors, appearing in both the second and back row.

Ollie Smith made his long-awaited comeback in a Glasgow Warriors jersey at the weekend in their win over Connacht and caps off his return from injury with a call-up to the Scotland squad after playing for Emerging Scotland at the tail end of last year.

Masibaka will replace Josh Bayliss in the squad, who sustained a groin injury playing for Bath in their victory over Sale Sharks. He will remain with Bath for further assessment to determine exact timescales.

Masibaka has impressed this season in Pro D2 with French side Soyaux-Angouleme. The 23-year-old is currently on loan from Montpellier having previously played for the Western Force. He plays across the back-row and qualifies for Scotland through his Paisley born mother.

Cameron Henderson made his debut for Scotland in 2023 against Italy before sustaining a knee injury at the end of the year. He has since bounced back, playing in Leicester Tigers last seven matches.

Ewan Johnson made his debut on Scotland's summer tour last year, in a 73-12 victory over Canada. The Oyonnax second-row also made his first appearance at Scottish Gas Murrayfield against Portugal in 2024 and played in the Scotland A victory over Chile at the end of the year.
