Edinburgh host Glasgow Warriors in the second leg of the 1872 Cup on Friday, with a crowd of over 25,000 expected at Murrayfield Stadium.

Glasgow won the first leg 16-10 at Scotstoun last week, with a try from Jack Dempsey, a conversion and a penalty from George Horne, and two penalties from Tom Jordan. It means Edinburgh will have to overturn a six-point deficit if they are to retain the trophy they won in May. There are also league points at stake, with the match doubling up as a United Rugby Championship fixture. The two Scottish teams are currently tied on 24 points in the URC standings but Glasgow have a game in hand.

What time does Edinburgh v Glasgow start?

The match kicks off at 7.35pm at BT Murrayfield on Friday, December 30.
