Saints ace returns for Scotland

Northampton Saints prop Euan Murray returns to the Scotland front row for Saturday's Six Nations clash with Italy.

Murray missed the opening two matches against Wales and France with a rib injury but came through 80 minutes of his club's Guinness Premiership defeat at Wasps on Sunday unscathed.

There is also a recall for Glasgow captain Alastair Kellock, who will make his first Test start for two years due to a shoulder injury to Edinburgh lock Jim Hamilton.

Murray and Kellock are the only two changes from the side beaten 22-13 in France just over a week.

Saints back-rower Scott Gray is again on the bench while there is no place again for Franklin's Gardens team-mate Sean Lamont.

Scotland: H Southwell (Edinburgh); S Danielli (Ulster), M Evans (Glasgow), G Morrison (Glasgow), T Evans (Glasgow); P Godman (Edinburgh), M Blair (Edinburgh, capt); A Jacobsen (Edinburgh), R Ford (Edinburgh), E Murray (Northampton), J White (Sale), A Kellock (Glasgow), A Strockosch (Gloucester), J Barclay (Glasgow), S Taylor (Stade Francais). Replacements: D Hall (Glasgow), A Dickinson (Gloucester), K Brown (Glasgow), S Gray (Northampton), C Cusiter (Perpignan), C Paterson (Edinburgh), N De Luca (Edinburgh).
