  2. 'We've got to play for 80 minutes'

    FT: Glasgow 52-24 Cardiff

    Cardiff Director of Rugby Dai Young has been giving his thoughts to Premier Sports: "We got off the a good start", he said, "but the yellow card changed the momentum - they scored three tries.

    "Second half we lost too many collisions and they got quick ball. We wanted to control the ball and limit Glasgow, but in fairness to them they were really clinical and we were always chasing the game.

    "We were beaten by the better team tonight. The scoreboard is ugly, but we had some good spells in the game. We've got to play for 80 minutes. I think we can build on some things from tonight."

  3. 'We're delighted'

    FT: Glasgow 52-24 Cardiff

    Glasgow coach Pete Horne has been speaking to BBC Radio Scotland post-match: "We're delighted", he said. "I think what was pleasing is that we got back to playing rugby. Guys were out there expressing themselves.

    "Franco spoke about drawing a line in the sand after last week, and I think people will be leaving the stands pleased with what they saw. We need to turn up on Monday and go again. Winning on the road was a problem last season.

    "It's been a really frustrating week, no-one feels it more than the players.

    [On brother George Horne]: "It's been a tough couple of years for George. Every time he seems to get any momentum he gets injured. He's got a massive chip on his shoulder, a point to prove. He's desperate to show what he's got and I think he was at his best tonight.

    [On Rory Darge's injury]: "It didn't look good. It was his ankle - I don't know much of the details, but fingers crossed it's not as bad as we first thought."

  4. 'A real bite to Glasgow'

    Colin Gregor
    Former Scotland Sevens captain on BBC Radio Scotland

    There was almost an anger about Glasgow's performance. There was a real bite to everything. It looked like they were hurting from last week and wanted to show this crowd what they're all about.

  6. Full-time

    Glasgow 52-24 Cardiff

    A knock-on brings this contest to an end.

    A resounding victory for Glasgow, who needed a response after last week's dismal showing.

    Eight tries and a happy home crowd - good stuff for Franco Smith's men.

  7. Glasgow 52-24 Cardiff

    This game is still going...

  8. Player of the Match

    Glasgow 52-24 Cardiff

    Cardiff win the ball back and are wanting to finish on a high note - they kick a penalty deep in Glasgow territory.

    In the meantime, George Horne has deservedly been named Player of the Match - he's been outstanding all game.

  9. Glasgow 52-24 Cardiff

    Glasgow take a penalty quickly, and are knocking on the door as they look to finish with a flourish...

  10. Glasgow 52-24 Cardiff

    Domingo Miotti kicks a penalty to touch - just over two minutes left here, can Glasgow add to their eight tries?

    Stafford McDowall

    A brain fade from Rhys Priestland gifts Glasgow an eighth try.

    Cardiff's replacement fly-half tries a very ambitious chip over the top, which Stafford McDowall charges down and collects to score.

    It's safe to say Glasgow have got the points in the bag now.

  12. converted try

    Converted try Glasgow 47-24 Cardiff

    Liam Belcher

    Cardiff power their way over off the back of the lineout.

    Liam Belcher, having found James Botham with his throw, joins the maul and crashes over to score Cardiff's third try of the night.

  13. Glasgow 47-17 Cardiff

    Glasgow somehow keep out Cardiff, who are camped on the home line.

    The visitors had a penalty advantage to fall back on though, and we will have a lineout 5m out.

    Tom Gordon

    This one does count!

    Jack Dempsey puts in a huge handoff on James Botham, powers beyond the Cardiff defensive line and finds Tom Gordon who scores unopposed under the posts.

  15. No try

    Glasgow 40-17 Cardiff

    Baffling.

    The final pass from Sebastian Cancelliere was clearly forward on the replay, but the conversion attempt had already been taken.

    The score is chalked off, and the Scotstoun crowd voice their dissatisfaction.

    Tom Jordan

    A first professional try for Tom Jordan!

    Sebastian Cancelliere gets away down the right, steps inside and throws the pass out to his fly-half.

    Jordan gets it down in the corner. Peter Wright and Colin Gregor are arguing on BBC Radio Scotland as to whether the forwards or backs are to credit for that try.

  17. Glasgow 40-17 Cardiff

    Glasgow butcher a great chance to score a seventh try.

    Jack Dempsey turns the ball over, and it releases Ali Price down the left-hand side.

    Price thought Tom Jordan was going to cut back inside, but the run never came and Price's pass goes to ground.

  18. Glasgow 40-17 Cardiff

    Cardiff have never won at Scotstoun, and that run looks set to continue.

  19. Glasgow 40-17 Cardiff

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    It's too easy. You would expect Cardiff to defend it better, but they just didn't get to grips with it.

    Fraser Brown

    A double for the Glasgow hooker!

    Cardiff are powerless to resist Glasgow's forward power, and Fraser Brown dots down to stretch the home side's lead.
