Scotland 7s have made just one change to their squad for this weekend's World Rugby HSBC Sevens-Series in Cape Town.
BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy winger Robert Beattie joins the squad as an injury replacement for Gavin Lowe who dislocated his shoulder in Dubai.
Beattie, who plays for Glasgow Hawks in the BT Premiership, could make his senior debut in Cape Town having trained with the squad in the pre-series preparation camp.
Scotland Head Coach Calum MacRae said: "It's tough losing Gav, he's developed into a top performer and demonstrated in Dubai that he has the potential to influence a game.
"He is getting scanned this week and I remain hopeful that the injury isn't too extensive.
"Robert performed well during the preparation camp, he has a lot of potential and will get up to speed during the training week.
"It will be a special moment for him winning his first senior cap and I'm sure he will take confidence from the way George Horne has slotted in and performed."
Scotland will open the competition in South Aftrica having been drawn in Pool A alongside Samoa, Uganda and Wales.
