Bordeaux lock Gray, 30, has not featured for the national team since the last time the Azzurri visited Murrayfield on Six Nations duty in 2023 after being derailed by a serious knee injury. Glasgow’s Stafford McDowall replaces injured captain Sione Tuipulotu at inside centre, while former Scotland skipper Jamie Ritchie has been selected to start in the back-row ahead of Jack Dempsey, who is named on the bench after recently recovering from injury. Ben White has held on to his place at scrum-half despite starting only one of Toulon’s matches since the autumn series, while record try-scorer Duhan van der Merwe has shaken off an ankle problem and will start in the back three alongside Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn.
