Scotland manager Ronald Ross has announced his squad for tomorrow's shinty-hurling international in Inverness.

The home team will be captained by Glenurquhart's John Barr, who is a veteran of 13 internationals. Speaking to the Inverness Courier, the North Sea engineer said: "Hurling is a massive sport in Ireland and the Irish selectors have huge resources to choose from. Despite that, we have always managed to compete with them and I am confident that Saturday will not be any different."

"Two years ago they had Patrick Horgan, an All-Star, in their team and he destroyed us. He has dropped out this year but Gareth Johnson is back and he is a very powerful player."

Scotland squad: Lee Bain (Kingussie); John Barr (capt) Fraser Heath, Neale Reid and Stuart Mackintosh (all Glenurquhart); Kevin Bartlett and Stuart Macdonald (both Lovat); Daniel Cameron (Oban Camanachd); Conor Cormack (Beauly); Zander Ferguson and Shaun Nicolson (both Lochaber); Grant Irvine, Calum Miller and Roddy Macdonald (all Kyles Athletic); Rory Kennedy, Paul Macarthur, Steven Macdonald and Glen Mackintosh (all Newtonmore); Liam Macdonald (Kilmallie) Finlay MacRae (Kinlochshiel)
