Stuart Hogg has been called to the Scotland Sevens squad ahead of the Commonwealth Games.
The Glasgow full-back replaces injured team-mate Tommy Seymour, who suffered a neck injury.
“It is disappointing to lose Tommy,” said coach Stephen Gemmell. “However I’m delighted to be able to bring in a player of Stuart Hogg’s calibre into our Commonwealth Games squad and would like to thank Team Scotland, Scottish Rugby and Glasgow Warriors in helping make this selection happen.”
“Stuart is somebody who has shown at every level of his XVs career what he is capable of. He is a player who excites fans and he has shown time and time again he can contribute significantly in both attack and defence.
“Though he has not yet played international sevens he comes from a background in the Borders that has been heavily influenced by the abbreviated game.
“His game understanding, along with the skills he has developed as a professional, will, I am sure, prove a strong addition to our existing playing group.
“I’m excited about him joining the squad and contributing to a successful performance at Ibrox.”
