LEGENDARY Scottish darts star Gary Anderson will meet Daryl Gurney in Edinburgh in a change to the original line-up for the two-time World Champion’s homecoming appearance.  

World number three Gurney has come in as a late replacement for Raymond van Barneveld (ranked 29^th) who has withdrawn to play in qualifiers for ranking tournaments, as he bids to reach the big TV events in his final year as a professional.

Scotland’s number one Anderson will now meet Gurney in a clash between two of the world’s top four at the Corn Exchange on Saturday 18 May.

Former World Grand Prix winner and current Players Champion Gurney said: “When I got the opportunity to play in this event, I was delighted to take it.

“I have a lot of respect for Gary Anderson and what he has achieved, and I will be honoured to share the stage with him in Scotland.”

Preceding the head-to-head showdown between Anderson and Gurney will be appearances from two of the sport’s greatest entertainers – Wayne Mardle and Bobby George.

There will also be a challenge match between Scottish ladies Lynn Cowan and Susanna McGimpsey.
