Ali Price insists Scotland believe they can beat England at Twickenham on March 11 in the Six Nations clash.
Scotland have not won at Twickenham since 1983 and have lost on their last 16 visits to London.
Glasgow scrum-half Price, who came into replace injured skipper Greig Laidlaw for the 29-13 victory over Wales at Murrayfield on Saturday, is confident Scotland can travel down south and cause a stir.
"Yeah, of course," replied Price when asked if his team could win at Twickenham.
"We've got two weeks now to prepare for the England game. We look at every game as a game we can go and win.
"So we'll prepare well and we'll go down there knowing if we play how we can play, and play to our game plan, then we'll leave there with a win."
Victory over England would secure a first Triple Crown for the Scots since the nation's famous Grand Slam team in 1990.
A 27-22 victory over Ireland at Murrayfield was the perfect start for Cotter's men, which was backed up by Saturday's defeat of Wales in Edinburgh, giving Scotland a chance of the title for the first time in years.
"We're all incredibly happy," said Price, who made his first Test start against Wales. "That's the first time we've won in 10 years against Wales so obviously everyone is delighted, especially with how we came out in the second half.
"We were four points down at half-time but we always knew if we played our game we could come out on top.
"I didn't feel much pressure replacing Greig [Laidlaw]. As a nine you play quite an important role in the team anyway. You get the most touches in a game at scrum-half. I've been given full confidence from the coaches just to go out there and play my game.
"I'm not Greig, so I was told not to try and play like Greig, just to go out there and play my own game. Having Finn playing outside me - obviously we play together at Glasgow - helped a lot."
