Exeter head coach Rob Baxter has also been giving his thoughts to BT Sport post-match:
"We gave up too much ball", he says. "Credit to Glasgow, but I haven't seen us give up ball like that in Europe for a long time.
"It's three-nil at half-time, and we're in the game, but in the second half we couldn't string passages of play together.
"We got back to within bonus point range, so letting that slip is a frustration. That was kind of the tale of the game."
FT: Glasgow 22-7 Exeter
Glasgow head coach Danny Wilson has been speaking to BT Sport after the full-time whistle:
"To have that physicality six days after the La Rochelle game, I'm so proud of that performance", he says. "I think we've been close to that for a while, but we put it all together tonight.
[On the conditions]: "Anything straight up and down was easy enough to see, but the cross field kicks were hard to pick up.
[And on Josh McKay]: "He's a quality fullback. He's been outstanding in his three games so far and hopefully there's more to come."

Quote MessageThat back row performance was unbelievable. Rory Darge is the kid in there, but he was out of this world. His work-rate, his footwork, his toughness. Wow.
FT: Glasgow 22-7 Exeter
The emotion was plain to see on the face of every Glasgow player when Johnny Matthews scored, no more so than Ali Price.

Quote MessageExeter were lucky to get seven. It was complete dominance, extraordinary. I was concerned when Ross Thompson missed that kickable penalty, but it didn't knock anything. Thompson then bangs over two more difficult kicks nervelessly. Even when Exeter did score, Glasgow were so cool in response. A brilliant performance.
FT: Glasgow 22-7 Exeter
Man of the Match was probably a toss up between Jack Dempsey and Rory Darge, with a mention for Sione Tuipulotu.
It goes the way of Glasgow's number eight, who was superb all evening.

"It's the most wonderful time of the year" rings around Scotstoun, and it certainly feels like that for the Warriors after that performance.
The final whistle is met with applause from all corners of the ground.
Glasgow 22-7 Exeter
That is the icing on the cake!
A huge rolling maul from a line-out marches to Exeter's try-line, and Johnny Matthews is the scorer. The celebrations that met that try were something behold - this win means a huge deal to Glasgow's players!
Glasgow 15-7 Exeter
Glasgow's forwards to a man have been fantastic. Every penalty that has gone their way has been met with triumphant celebrations, no more so than the last one.
Ross Thompson
Nerves of steel from the young man!
The ball sails through the fog and dissects the posts.
A real nerve settler.
Glasgow 12-7 Exeter
Glasgow have undoubtedly been the better side tonight, but the gap has been cut to just five points.
Jack Dempsey, with another huge carry off the back of a scrum, wins the home side a penalty.
Ross Thompson eyes up the posts - this is a massive moment.
Sam Simmonds
Exeter hit back!
Exeter are renowned for their efficiency in these scenarios. They get a sniff of the Glasgow line, and Sam Simmonds powers over from close range.
Joe Simmonds adds the extras.
Glasgow 12-0 Exeter
Josh McKay goes straight through a hole, flings the ball wide to Cole Forbes, who makes it to within 5m of the line.
Exeter scramble back and earn a put-in at the scrum.
Big chance for Glasgow to put the game to bed goes begging.
Glasgow 12-0 Exeter
Ali Price kicks long, and Glasgow's kick-chase piles the pressure onto Exeter's back three.
It results in another handling error from Exeter, and the home side have a scrum just outside Exeter's 22.
Glasgow 12-0 Exeter
Exeter are on the front foot, deep in Glasgow territory, but more brilliant defensive work from the Warriors forces a knock-on.
Rory Darge put in a huge shot just before that - he's been immense.
Ross Thompson
He's brought his kicking boots tonight Ross Thompson.
He splits the posts again, this time from 45m out, and nudges Glasgow further in front.
Glasgow 9-0 Exeter
Ali Price's box-kick has too much on it, and we come back for a scrum on Exeter's 10m line.
It is still foggy at Scotstoun, but you can at least see the far touchline now.
Another penalty at the scrum for the Warriors - brilliant work from the forwards!
Glasgow 9-0 Exeter
Exeter's key players are trying to get on the ball and force things. Jack Nowell comes infield and looks to inject some momentum into the visitor's play, but Exeter kick again and the ball is back with Glasgow.

Quote MessageJust watching the scrum again. Oli Kebble absolutely destroyed Schickerling - he just collapsed under the weight of 140 kilos. Kebble is just a massive man.
