    Stafford McDowall

    Sione Tuipulotu somehow finds his centre partner Stafford McDowall with a superb offload, and from there, McDowall blasts his way through a couple of Edinburgh defenders.

    He's taken down just shy of the line but an outstretched arm gets Glasgow a potentially vital score.

    George Horne adds the extras.

    Glasgow are really putting the pressure on Edinburgh here deep in their 22.

    Glasgow are on the front foot once again but it comes to nothing as the ball bounces into the massive dead-ball area and Duhan Van der Merwe touches it down.

    Goal-line drop-out for the hosts.

    It's a full team effort from the hosts but it isn't enough to get them over the line. Cover tackle from Glasgow sees them get the put in at the scrum.

    After a huge clear out on Rory Darge the flanker has been taken off. Hopefully nothing too serious.

    From the reset Duhan Van der Merwe gallops down the touchline with Ali Price in support.

    Ben Healy

    Repeated infringements form Glasgow see the hosts awarded a penalty and Ben Healy's kick goes sailing through the uprights.

    Ali Price's well judged box kick finds clear space and sends Glasgow scrambling.

    The visitors don't deal with it at all well, George Horne knocks on, and Edinburgh have a scrum in a very promising position.

    Just a penalty says referee Mike Adamson. Josh McKay's change of direction is the mitigating factor.

    That's a yellow card for me.

    Mata brings that left arm round and hits his head.

    Glasgow receive a penalty this time as Viliame Mata grabs Josh McKay round the neck.

    Could we see a card here?

    Glasgow are penalised again for illegally playing the ball. Edinburgh will have a line-out on Glasgow's 5m line.

    Nothing comes of it though - Richie Gray does well to steal possession.

    Edinburgh win an early penalty as Glasgow are pinged for being on the wrong side.

    When Glasgow are on the ball, they look the more dangerous side.

    They just haven't had enough possession and Edinburgh have defended fairly well.

    It's the same as last week for Edinburgh - they aren't threatening the scoreboard as much as they need to be.

    The way the half started with Glasgow scoring so early, you thought they might run away with it.

    Edinburgh dusted themselves down though, and didn't allow Glasgow to build up too much pressure until the last five minutes or so, and then they did well to keep them out.

    Viliame Mata picks up off the back of the scrum looking to go on the attack but Ben Healy decides that's enough for the half, and boots the ball into the Murrayfield stands.

    Johnny Matthews' throw isn't straight so Edinburgh will have a scrum on their 5m line.

    The bounce isn't kind to Glasgow but they are brought back for another line-out after an Edinburgh offside.

    Glasgow go through the hands again and Sione Tuipulotu chips the ball through...

    A Glasgow line-out on the 5m line... We all know what this can mean for Glasgow.

    Can they get this maul going forward?
