Edinburgh head coach Richard Cockerill has vowed his side will "throw everything" at Glasgow Warriors on Saturday.

The two sides go head-to-head at Murrayfield in the Guinness PRO14 this weekend before playing the return fixture on December 30, with both games live on Sky Sports.

Edinburgh have been in good form this winter, winning their last three matches, but they face a Glasgow side that has won all 10 matches in the competition so far and sit top of Conference A.

Cockerill says his side are underdogs going into the game but insists they will throw everything they have at the Warriors.

He said: "They are a good side and we need to make sure we get our game right.

"We know in one-off games we can beat anybody and this weekend is a one-off game for us.

"If we win on Saturday, it won't be that we have solved all our problems and are the team to beat, and the same if we lose; we are a team that is growing and trying to improve and take small steps in the right direction.

"I think we have done that, but at quarter past five (on Saturday) there will be no love lost, we will go out there, fire our bullets and throw everything at them to try and win the game.

"Glasgow have been the better side for a number of years but Edinburgh always find their best performances in this game.

"We know over the last few years we always seem to be the underdogs, so it's an easier game for them to play in and get up for."
