Finn Russell ruled out of Scotland's tour to Japan

Glasgow Warriors stand-off Finn Russell has been ruled out of Scotland's summer tour to Japan through injury.

The 19-times capped Scotland international sustained a head injury in the PRO12 playoff in Galway and will remain in the care of his club's medical team.

Scotland will confirm any further adjustments to the touring party in due course.

The squad will convene at Murrayfield Stadium on Monday 6 June for a short camp before their departure for Tokyo on June 11.

Warriors confirmed Russell remains under observation in hospital following a clash of heads in the first minute of Saturday's 16-11 defeat to Connacht.

However, his condition has improved significantly over the last couple of days and it's been confirmed that he does not require surgery.

Russell, who was transferred from University Hospital in Galway to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, is expected to be discharged later this week.
