Glasgow coach Kiwi Searancke today admitted his side's next two games will "make or break" their season.

The Warriors must win their Bank of Scotland Pro Rugby Cup clashes with Edinburgh at Meadowbank tomorrow and The Borders next week to stand any chance of qualifying for Europe. Kiwi said: "The next two matches will determine our season."

Ian McInroy will make a rare appearance for Glasgow in the match against Edinburgh at Meadowbank tomorrow evening. It will be his first start in a competitive match since the game at Bridgend in late August 2001. McInroy’s recall is among seven changes in personnel from the starting line-up in the match that Glasgow lost to Llanelli last Friday.

Also returning are Glenn Metcalfe, Joe Naufahu, Andy Nicol, Jon Petrie, Andrew Hall, and Andrew Kelly. Andrew Henderson, Lee Harrison, Graeme Beveridge and Ben Daly are unavailable for tomorrow because of injury.


Team: Metcalfe, Steel, McInroy, Naufahu, Moffat, Howarth, Nicol (captain), Blades, Bulloch, Kelly, Hall, White, Wilson, Macfadyen, Petrie.

Replacements: Lawson, Hilton, Ross, Simpson, Black, Irving, Kerr
