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.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
