00:00Hello it's Graeme Bean from the Scotsman here at Murrayfield. I've just been

00:05speaking to Edinburgh and Glasgow ahead of the news that for the first time ever

00:11the two teams will be playing at Hampden Park in the first leg of the 1872 Cup.

00:16The match is on December the 22nd and the second leg will be here at Murrayfield

00:22as is customary. But the news that's going to be played at Hampden is a big

00:27development and an exciting one for rugby fans. It's been 20 years since

00:32they've played a rugby match at Hampden but Glasgow Warriors have never played there

00:35before and the hope is they'll get a crowd similar to what they got at

00:40Murrayfield here last year which is a record crowd of around 38,000 to watch

00:45the annual festive fixture. We spoke to Glasgow Warriors Chief

00:50Executive Al Kellock earlier. He's urging all Glasgow fans or the Warrior

00:55Nation as they're known to come along and support their team on December the

01:0022nd with the second leg back here at Murrayfield one week later.
