PREVIEW: GLASGOW v EDINBURGH (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

GLASGOW are hoping it’s a case of third time lucky when they host rivals Edinburgh in the Scottish derby at Ashfield tonight (Friday).

Both sides are well placed for the play-offs in fourth and second places respectively in the Cab Direct Championship, but the Monarchs have been successful at the home of their neighbours on two occasions in other competitions this year.

The Tigers have to contend with the absence of Kyle Howarth, who has stepped away from the sport, with Jonas Jeppesen coming in to guest at No.1.

The Monarchs are at full strength with skipper Paco Castagna returning after missing last weekend’s meetings due to the GP Challenge.

Glasgow manager Cami Brown said: “Edinburgh have already won at Ashfield twice this season which hasn’t happened for an awfully long time. 

“It feels like we have our backs-to-the-wall a bit. The boys will really need to dig deep and get the win this time against the Monarchs. We will need to find something special. 

“This is our most important meeting of the season so far. We need the boys to up their level and get the victory we really need.”

GLASGOW: Jonas Jeppesen, Mario Hausl, Chris Harris, Kevin Juhl Pedersen, Leon Flint, Freddy Hodder, Sam Hagon.
EDINBURGH: Dan Thompson, Jonatan Grahn, Justin Sedgmen, Paco Castagna, Kye Thomson, Mitchell Cluff, Jordy Loftus.
