Jamie Bhatti has withdrawn from Scotland's Six Nations squad before Saturday's opener against England while Josh Bayliss will remain with his club.

Back-row Bayliss came off early in Bath's recent Champions Cup defeat by Leinster.

And Scottish Rugby say he "will continue his recovery from concussion at Bath".

Full-back Sean Maitland was not in Gregor Townsend's tournament squad, but was with the group. He is now back at Saracens.
