GLASGOW WARRIORS' clash with Edinburgh has been called off just 20 minutes before the game was scheduled to begin on Friday night.
The two rivals were due to meet on PRO14 duty at Scotstoun but the wintry conditions ensured the contest was delayed after the pitch failed a late inspection.

It means the second leg of the 1872 Cup match will be rearranged but no date has been suggested yet to reschedule the match.
Richard Cockerill's men won the reverse fixture at BT Murrayfield 10-7 a week ago when a sizeable chunk of the Warriors squad were self-isolating as a precautionary measure against Covid.
Edinburgh currently sit fifth in Conference B with 14 points from their opening eight fixtures, while Danny Wilson's team are fifth in Conference A with 11 points from nine games.
