Edinburgh still have some way to go before toppling Glasgow Warriors as the predominant force in Scottish rugby, says flanker Ryan Wilson.

The Murrayfield men can make it three wins in a row over Warriors if they succeed in Saturday's 1872 Cup second leg.

But Wilson reckons his team remain top dogs in Scotland after winning last year's Pro12 title.

"No I wouldn't say so," he said when asked whether an Edinburgh win would move them ahead of Glasgow in terms of standing in the game.

"We won the league last year. We have a fantastic team with strength and depth and we're looking to go out and win this weekend.

"It's a long old season and we've still got a lot of games to play. We'll see how we come out at the other end."

Edinburgh ended Glasgow's five-year reign of dominance when they came out on top in last season's festive double header.

Alan Solomons' side backed it up with a 23-11 win in the capital last Sunday as they claimed an 12-point advantage ahead of the 1872 Cup second leg - as well as four Pro12 points to move above Warriors into the top six.

But Wilson has promised a backlash.

"It was gutting, frustrating and really disappointing," said the Scotland international as he reflected on last weekend's defeat.

"The boys have had a long look at themselves and the game and gone over a few things. We're in a positive place now.

"You always get a reaction from things like that though. It was a tough one to take but we will move on. There will be a reaction.

"We know we were not good enough. For the opening 20 minutes we showed how we can play then we took the foot off the gas. But we know we are a better team and that we can get the win this week.

"We can definitely turn the 12-point advantage around. We just need to play a bit smarter and play the way we want to play."
