Hadden expects tough finale at Edinburgh

Edinburgh Gunners head coach Frank Hadden has confirmed the Celtic League game against Ospreys on Sunday will be his last in charge.

The 51-year-old will leave his position on Monday to take over as Scotland head coach on a full-time basis.

He told Scotland Today: “I am withdrawing as of next Monday because I don’t think it is appropriate for me to be involved with Edinburgh while they play Glasgow.

“We also play Borders the week after so Monday is a good time to pull out.”

Hadden is relishing his final bow with Edinburgh at Meadowbank.

He added: “I was down at Netherdale on Sunday watching the Ospreys against the Reivers.

“I don’t think they’ll be happy with their performance but we have to remember it was their third game in eight days.

“I expect it will be a different side that comes here to Murrayfield.

“They are a difficult side to play because they do so many things very well but we’ve covered our bases and we’re going into the game full of confidence.”
