    Glasgow's set-piece went really well, and they managed the game nicely in the second half.

    Not playing too well and getting the win is what it's about.

    A lot of it came down to discipline. They went half an hour conceding just one penalty. Glasgow got control of the game, starting to play in the right areas, and did enough to win.

    Nous and discipline won them the game. Ulster will be raging because they had so many opportunities in the first half. You have to ground out wins to do well in this competition, and Glasgow certainly did that.

  4. 'We found a way' - Hornepublished at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2023

    FT: Glasgow 17-11 Ulster

    Glasgow assistant coach Pete Horne has been talking to BBC Radio Scotland post-match:

    "It probably wasn't classic Glasgow but we showed another string to our bow," he said. "We managed to defend really well, and found a way to win in tough conditions.

    "We dominated the scrums at the end with the boys we brought on. It's testament to the squad - everyone just comes in and does his job. Great to see big Scott Cummings back.

    "At the end we're disappointed not to get a bonus point. We're almost a bit flat, but that just shows the character of the boys. It's a brilliant place to be and hopefully we kick kick on and win at the Lions next week."

    That is that at Scotstoun. Glasgow's unbeaten run goes on, as they edge the forward battle in tricky conditions.

    Reaction to come.

    Billy Burns' attempted drop-goal is pushed wide, but Ulster had a penalty advantage, and will get another chance to secure a losing bonus point.

    Glasgow 17-8 Ulster

    Glasgow and Scotland number eight Jack Dempsey has been superb in both attack and defence all night, and he has been awarded Player of the Match by the television pundits.

    It's his try that turned the game in Glasgow's favour.

    Glasgow win a scrum against the head - that sums up how this game has been won - sheer forward power.

    30 seconds left at Scotstoun.

    They'll do more than see it out!

    It's a third try that comes directly from the Glasgow maul - their forwards have stepped up big time in this second half.

    Fraser Brown is the man to barge over on this occasion, and you'd imagine that is victory in the bag.

    Duncan Weir adds the extras from out wide.

    Glasgow are playing in the right areas now, and they need to stay here if they're to see it out.

    Another penalty goes the way of Glasgow, and once again, Duncan Weir kicks into the Ulster 22.

    Kieran Treadwell dives on the ball to deny Glasgow, and Ulster clear, but the kick from Craig Gilroy doesn't have much distance on it and the Warriors will come again.

    Glasgow 10-8 Ulster

    Another massive scrum from Glasgow's pack wins a penalty.

    You'd back Duncan Weir to kick the points from there, but the diminutive fly-half kicks to the corner.

    Glasgow are going for the jugular...

    Glasgow 10-8 Ulster

    A stunning break from Ali Price gets Glasgow over the gain-line and breathes yet more life into this Scotstoun crowd.

    Price keeps the ball alive, finding Sam Johnson with a clever offload, but Ulster scramble excellently to nick possession just when the Warriors looked set to score again.

    It's a great wee move. They peel back to the front of the lineout, and it's really difficult to defend.

    Jack Dempsey

    A huge moment in this game - Glasgow lead once more!

    The hosts win a scrum penalty and go to the corner. They cleverly shift the point of attack from the maul, and the hugely impressive Jack Dempsey crashes over in the corner.

    Tom Jordan's conversion drifts wide.

    Glasgow 5-8 Ulster

    Ulster's replacement hooker John Andrew's first act of the game is to take a lineout inside his own 22, but his throw isn't straight and Glasgow have a scrum in a great position.

    It serves him right for having two first names...

    Glasgow 5-8 Ulster

    Glasgow make five changes as Franco Smith looks to swing this game his side's way.

    The entire front row makes way, Scott Cummings' return comes to an end, and the lesser-spotted Ali Price comes on for Jamie Dobie.

    Sam Johnson steals possession with a superb, opportunistic piece of defence.

    Jamie Dobie's kick is hammered downfield and relieves some pressure.
