I always loved the 1872 Cup games as a player – and this one will be a derby with a difference on Sunday.
It’s a bold call from Glasgow to take their home leg to Hampden, but I think it will be brilliant to have such a large crowd for this fixture and most of them supporting Warriors.
I’ve seen Sean Everitt saying it’s a leveller for his team moving it away from Scotstoun, and I guess if you’re Edinburgh you’ll take all the help you can get given the way both teams have started the URC season.
But I think Glasgow are on a different level at the moment. They relish the big games. I don’t think they’ll be worrying too much about this one and will fancy themselves to take a lead to Murrayfield for the second leg.
Having said that, I also think the occasion will bring out the best in Edinburgh. This one will mean more to them, because what an opportunity it is to get one over on Glasgow.
They must be sitting down the other end…
