Scotland head coach Vern Cotter has made three of his Glasgow players unavailable to feature for their club this week.

Tommy Seymour, Tim Swinson and Finn Russell will miss Friday's Pro 12 game with Zebre to protect them ahead of next week's Six Nations match with England.

They will be part of a two day training camp instead.

Scotland, who lost to Italy in their last Six Nations game and currently sit bottom of the standings, take on Ireland in the final round of the tournament on March 21st.
