The 21-year-old Edinburgh forward starts at blindside flanker and is one of four personnel changes from the side that lost 23-22 to Australia last weekend.

Wing Tommy Seymour returns after missing the Wallabies clash due to personal reasons, with Tim Visser dropping to the bench.

Lock Richie Gray has not come through his head injury assessment and misses out, with Grant Gilchrist coming in to partner Jonny Gray in the second row.

Fraser Brown starts at hooker, with centurion Ross Ford among the substitutes.

Scotland head coach Vern Cotter, said: “Every week we want to improve. We did a lot of good things against Australia: we scored three tries to their two, we were aggressive in attack and our defence held strong for the most part.

“While it’s disappointing we didn’t walk off with the win, I’m proud of the courage the players showed and the way they adapted to changes on the paddock due to injuries.

“Saturday’s game is going to be a different challenge for us, both physically and mentally, against a very dangerous Argentina side.

“They have the capacity to vary their game so we have to be prepared for whatever approach they take, though we can expect them to look to dominate the set piece as a starting point, be very explosive around the rucks and look to get their offloading game up and running.

“We will have to be disciplined and make sure we capitalise on every opportunity we create.”
