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 dont 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 dont think theyll 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 weve covered our bases and were going into the game full of confidence.
