Scottish international Cameron Redpath returns to the Bath Rugby squad for their make or break clash with Saracens. 

The centre picked up an ankle injury in their Champions Cup round-of-16 defeat to the Exeter Chiefs.

Elsewhere in the squad, Niall Annett starts at hooker in place of Tom Dunn, who drops to the bench. He starts in the front-row alongside Beno Obano and Will Stuart. Quinn Roux and Charlie Ewels continue their partnership in the second-row, with Ted Hill, Sam Underhill and Alfie Barbeary completing the pack.

In the backs, former Saracen Ben Spencer starts at scrum-half, with Orlando Bailey again starting at 10 in the absence of Finn Russell. Max Ojomoh and Ollie Lawrence again start in midfield, and Will Muir, Joe Cokanasiga and Matt Gallagher finish the starting team.

Head of Rugby Johann van Graan has again opted for a 6:2 split on the bench. Thomas du Toit, Archie Griffin Jacques du Plessis, Josh Bayliss and Jaco Coetzee will all look to make an impact in the forwards, with Louis Schreuder and Cameron Redpath the only specialist backs on the bench.
