The offer includes the Edinburgh v Glasgow Warriors match at Murrayfield on Boxing Day (see the notes to editors for further details).The same match last season produced a veritable try-feast with Edinburgh winning 35-31 in the final minute of a pulsating game.Glasgow, however, took the overall honours, and the silverware, the 1872 Cup, by posting a 23-14 success at Firhill later in the season.Between the two squads this season there are 28 Scotland internationalists, ready to represent Scotland’s corner in the Magners League and Heineken Cup.Glasgow captain Alastair Kellock said: ‘the atmosphere at our derbies against Edinburgh last season was fabulous, both home and away, and it would be brilliant if we could better that.
