Vern Cotter has announced the Scotland squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and three Scottish Borders players have been included.

As expected, Kelso hooker Ross Ford and Hawick's Stuart Hogg are in, and will be confident of starting roles when the tournament gets underway next month.

As will former Jedburgh schoolboy Greg Laidlaw, who has been named as captain.

The tournament gets underway on September 18th, and every match is live and exclusive on ITV.
