  2. 'Really pleased' - Wilsonpublished at 21:53 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2022

    FT: Glasgow 30-17 Edinburgh

    Glasgow head coach Danny Wilson on Premier Sports:

    “Really pleased with the result in a big game", he said. "I think Josh McKay’s try was a huge moment and was a swing in momentum.

    "We hadn't seen much of the game in the second half, and from then on we controlled the game and spent it down the other end of the pitch.

    "We were pleased with some of the defensive sets tonight. This is a really good team, and to cause turnovers and knock-ons kept us in the game. They kick very well. We wanted to put pressure on that.

    "[Jamie Dobie] was outstanding. It's great that he's getting that opportunity – he's a fantastic talent. We’ve got an away game at Cardiff and then Zebre here, so we’ve got to try build on tonight."

  3. 'We're disappointed' - Blairpublished at 21:50 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2022

    FT: Glasgow 30-17 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh head coach Mike Blair has been talking to BBC Radio Scotland post-match:

    “We weren’t at our best today, and I thought Glasgow were excellent", he said. "They put a lot of pressure on us and they made the most of the transition attacks they had. They were ruthless with the chances they had. Well done to Glasgow tonight.

    "We had a good start to the 2nd half but gklasgow fought their way back into it. That [Josh McKay] try was a momentum killer – brilliantly finished.

    "I thought Connor Boyle stuck in really well, but we’re disappointed because we didn’t show our best selves out there tonight. It’ll be tough [away to Sharks next]. A real test that we’re looking forward to."

    It was all Edinburgh for the first 15 minutes of the second half, and they levelled the game up. Then a brilliant bit of skill from Glasgow and after that point Edinburgh weren't in Glasgow's half. They deserved the win.

    Glasgow are in control here. They are back down in the Edinburgh 22. If they can spend another four minutes or so down there, it'll be really tough for Edinburgh to come back.

    This time Connor Boyle is penalised at the breakdown, and Glasgow hammer the penalty into Edinburgh's 22.

    I feel like I jinxed Boyle somewhat there...

    Connor Boyle has been impressive since he got a run in the Edinburgh side, and he wins his side a penalty at the breakdown.

  16. Postpublished at 60 mins

    Glasgow 24-17 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh dominated the opening exchanges of the second half, but will have to dig even deeper if they want to win this game.

    A huge score for Glasgow against the run of play.

    Wow - what an offload from Seb! No look over his shoulder - it's like Campese in 1991, brilliant bit of skill.

    The pressure tells!

    Edinburgh go straight off the top from a line-out, and Ben Muncaster is stopped just short.
