Scotland have called up Sean Lamont for next month's summer tour to Japan.
Lamont is a direct replacement for Tim Visser, who sustained a knee injury while representing his club in the Challenge Cup Final.
The veteran Glasgow Warriors winger holds 104 caps, and will now get the chance to edge himself closer to Chris Paterson's record caps tally of 109.
The inclusion of Lamont is the second injury replacement to Vern Cotter's squad this week, with Matt Scott already being chosen to replace Alex Dunbar, who injured his knee while playing for Glasgow Warriors in the Guinness Pro 12.
Scotland's summer training camp starts on June 6, at Murrayfield, as they prepare for their two-game tour in Tokyo.
Their Test matches against the Brave Blossoms are scheduled for June 18 and a week later on June 25 at the Ajinomoto Stadium.
