This is a fun game.

Don't think we've seen the last of the tries.

Gregor Brown is a player who has stood out to me a fair bit for Glasgow this season.

Powerful, direct and versatile.

Brilliant from the hosts.

Stafford McDowall starts the attack with a powerful carry and the momentum builds from there.

Gregor Brown drives forward and finds Sione Tuipulotu with a great offload.

Tuipulotu is halted about 10 yards short of the Bulls line, but Glasgow will have a penalty after several players receive treatment.

As Tom says, this is a captivating watch.

Two of the best in the league slugging it out. Glasgow march into Bulls' 22 again, but cough up a penalty at the breakdown.

Glasgow’s power in those opening exchanges was just awesome.

Hard and direct but extremely skilful at the same time. Just a beautiful try.

Grant Gilchrist has been a wonderful Scotland player but the time is nigh for Max Williamson and Scott Cummings to start in the second row. They’re a pair of powerhouse carriers who can really play.

This is shaping up to a majestic game. Two fantastic teams.

Bulls almost hit back in stunning fashion.

Josh McKay rushes up in defence for Glasgow, but misjudges it and Stravino Jacobs bursts away down the left flank.

Willie le Roux looks to be racing clear, but Glasgow somehow scramble back and the Springbok full-back knocks-on.

Sione Tuipulotu may have finished that move but the groundwork was laid by two powerful bursts from the locks, Scott Cummings and Max Williamson.

Terrific start for Glasgow.

Glasgow are back into Bulls' 22.

Can they convert this time?

Ah. The ball goes to ground with Bulls stretched and the chance is gone.

Glasgow have started brilliantly.

George Horne takes up the charge after Scott Cummings' initial burst and the hosts are deep into Bulls' 22.

Adam Hastings kicks high and long and we are off.

Here come the players.

Kick-off is next...

This has been one of the standout fixtures on the URC calendar in recent times between two sides who always seem to be there or thereabouts at the business end of the season.

Bulls have appeared in three of the past four URC finals and have nothing to show for it, so you would imagine the South African side are on a mission this season to finally get their hands on the trophy.

Warriors are going along nicely - the sloppy defeat to Benetton in Italy aside - and are in decent shape sitting third in the table.

With the URC taking a month's break for the autumn internationals after this weekend, this is an important game for Glasgow as they look to lay the foundations for another title charge.

Scotland number eight Jack Dempsey makes his first Glasgow Warriors appearance since January after being named in the starting XV for this evening's game.

The fit-again 31-year-old was a late withdrawal before the club's opening-round URC victory over the Sharks last month.

Scotland prop Jamie Bhatti also returns to the starting line-up against last season's runners-up after missing the past two matches.

Head coach Franco Smith makes five changes in total from the 42-17 win away to Ospreys.

Scott Cummings comes into the second row, while Dempsey's inclusion means Matt Fagerson shifts to the openside flank, with Gregor Brown on blindside.

Alex Samuel and Euan Ferrie rotate to the bench after starting last time out.

Behind the scrum, George Horne replaces Jamie Dobie at scrum-half, while Josh McKay returns at full-back in place of Ollie Smith.

Dobie, Smith and prop Patrick Schickerling drop out of the squad altogether.

Glasgow swatted aside Ospreys with an impressive 42-17 win in Swansea last Saturday, while Bulls edged out Connacht 27-28 in Galway.
