Calcutta Cup: Confirmed, no Finn Russell in 37-man Scotland squad for Six Nations clash with England

Finn Russell has been omitted again after head coach Gregor Townsend named a 37-man squad for this Saturday's second Six Nations match at BT Murrayfield.

The squad reconvened at their Oriam training base in Edinburgh following Saturday's opening defeat by Ireland in Dublin and 27-year-old Racing 92 star Russell was not present.

He was excluded from the Ireland game following an alleged breach of team protocol two weeks ago.
