**We may not be celebrating the new year in the usual fashion in 2021, but one thing will always remain a constant, and that is the guaranteed drama when the two Scottish sides in Guinness PRO14 lock horns.** Time and time again we have been treated to an absolute spectacle when Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors have gone up against each other, and this weekend looks to be no exception. With both sides languishing lower down their respective conferences than they would like, the hunt for points becomes all the more crucial as we head into 2021 – with a victory over their nearest and dearest always sweet. **What’s at stake?** Neither of these two sides have had the start to the 2020/21 campaign that they would have liked, with both picking up just two wins apiece to leave them fifth in their conferences. With only the conference winners heading straight into a final to decide the 2020/21 Guinness PRO14 champion, both Edinburgh and Glasgow’s chances area all but over, however they will be eager to find some form ahead of the inaugural Rainbow Cup starting in March, as well as securing European qualification spots. Edinburgh will be eager to get back into domestic action and right the wrongs of two thumping defeats to Ulster and Leinster before the European break, which promptly brought an end to their two-match winning streak in November. With the 1872 Cup on the line once again, this one looks to be too close to call, which is so often the case when these two come together. Of the 38 meetings between the two bitter rivals, the Warriors have 19 victories to Edinburgh’s 18, with a solitary draw in 2011, which means we can expect fireworks once again when the two teams take to the field at BT Murrayfield on Saturday afternoon. **What happened last time they met?**
