PREVIEW: GLASGOW v EDINBURGH (SCOTTISH CUP 2nd leg)

GLASGOW hold a four-point advantage over local rivals Edinburgh ahead of the second leg of the Scottish Cup at Ashfield tonight (Friday).

The Tigers were victorious in last week’s opener at Armadale, but boss Cami Brown is warning his side to beware of a Monarchs backlash in the return.

The visitors hand a debut to Polish racer Oskar Polis who missed the first leg, but captain Paco Castagna is absent due to the Italian Championship, with Drew Kemp stepping in to guest.

Brown said: “The Monarchs will arrive at our place really wanting to get revenge. They won’t have liked being beaten at Armadale. 

“They can sometimes ride Ashfield better than their own place. We cannot underestimate how good they can be. They also have a strong reserve in Victor Palovaara who knows Ashfield very well. 

“The early signs are good. We already have one trophy in the cabinet, let’s hope more are to come starting with the Scottish Cup on Friday.”

GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Ashton Boughen, Dan Thompson, Leon Flint, Kyle Howarth, Freddy Hodder, Max Perry.

EDINBURGH: Justin Sedgmen, Jonatan Grahn, Kye Thomson, Oskar Polis, Drew Kemp, Victor Palovaara, Max James.

SCB Referee: Phil Griffin
