EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Finn Russell returns at flyhalf and Cameron Redpath will make his debut at centre for Scotland in the lineup named by coach Gregor Townsend on Thursday to face England in their Six Nations opener at Twickenham on Saturday.

Russell, whose mercurial performances and flamboyant skills make him one of world rugby’s most exciting players, missed the Autumn Nations Cup through injury and sat out most of last year’s Six Nations after a spat with the coach that has since been settled.
