Gregor Scougall returns and Gregor Nelson is called up from the bench, while wingers Cammy Meager and James McCaig are fit again and Ryan Southern starts at centre.

Cairns expects his men to bounce back from a loss at Hawick last Saturday, and said: “We are back at Malleny for our first competitive fixture in too long and I am sure attitude won’t be an issue this week.”
