Glasgow win!

They've done it. Their first win here at The REC in four attempts. The Warriors start their EPCR Challenge Cup campaign with a tense 22-19 win over Bath.

14:54

Glasgow lineout

This is the final play of the match. Glasgow have a lineout in their own half. The defence up to this point was impressive from Glasgow, with Kyle Steyn putting Joe Cokanasiga in to touch out wide. Here we go...

Player-of-the-Match: Ollie Smith

78

Bath break

The home side are lifting the level of intensity in this match as the clock enters the final moments. De Glanville and De Carpentier finding space and make yards. Glasgow aren't committing numbers to the ruck to make sure they have players on their feet to defend. This is going to be a critical two minutes of play.

14:50

*lineout

77

Glasgow clear

Glasgow do what is required of them and win a penalty in the ruck. Weir clears and our replacement hooker, Angus Fraser slows play down with the line on halfway.

76

Bath penalty

Now Bath win a penalty and set up a position 20-metres from Glasgow's line. Bath are known as a team who can win right at the decisive moments of a game, therefore, Glasgow have to defend well here.

74

Glasgow edge in front

Weir slots the penalty and Glasgow win a three-point lead, 22-19, with just six minutes to play.

73

Glasgow penalty

Duncan Weir brings Glasgow back onto the Bath 22 with a long kick from deep in his own half. Glasgow then maul off the back of the line out and drive forward. Bath are penalised again handing Weir an opportunity to win three points from the tee.

68

Glasgow scrum

Glasgow have an attacking scrum on Bath's 22. The two sides reset multiple times before Bath overpower the set piece and win the ball back, and earn the opportunity to clear their lines.

64

Bath try

Bath score after multiple phases, spanning three minutes of attack, from the penalty. Glasgow did manage to spread them right out to the touchline though, but Matt Gallagher was clinical with the final dive coring the hosts' third try. Piers Francis adds the conversion and the match is all square, 19-19.

60

Bean sin binned

Bath cross the whitewash again from the tap-penalty but are stripped of the ball before touching down. They win another penalty as Lewis Bean is penalised for his actions in the tackle.

58'

Penalty Bath

Bath playing with advantage, as de Glanville flings it over the top for Matt Gallagher. Brilliant cover tackle from Smith though, denying the winger! Back come the hosts for a penalty and they'll tap and go.

57'

Bath ball

Bath look to maul, but Bean and Du Preez make a mess of it. Bath just two metres out now.

57'

Glasgow replacements

Four changes for Glasgow - off go Ryan Wilson, George Turner, Jamie Dobie and Domingo Miotti. On come Euan Ferrie, Angus Fraser - for his pro debut -, Sean Kennedy and Duncan Weir.

57'

Penalty Bath

No advantage comes to the hosts, so play is brought back for the penalty.

56'

Bath ball

Tom Dunn breaks away from a static maul, before Ollie Lawrence carries into contact. Bean makes the shot on Boyce, as the Glasgow pack make their tackles.

54'

Penalty Bath

Josh Bayliss gets over the ball and wins the penalty for the home side. Francis finds touch on the Glasgow 22.

53'

Glasgow ball

Solid take from Wilson, before Mann carries well once more. Dobie and Smith then have a dart apiece.

53'

Glasgow lineout

Spencer clears long, giving Glasgow a lineout 35m from the Bath line.

52'

No try

No, is the answer - Miotti's toe is in touch. Bath lineout.

51'

TMO Check

Has Miotti got this down?!

50'

Penalty Glasgow

Again Bath collapse the maul and the penalty comes Glasgow's way. Final warning for the home side. Miotti calls for the corner again.

49'

Penalty Glasgow

Great take from Wilson at the tail and the maul is formed. Bath stop it short, but there's a penalty and Miotti goes to the corner again.

47'

Glasgow ball

Smith fields the drop-out, before Mann is levelled by Cokanasiga. The Bath man doesn't roll away though, and Miotti goes to the corner from the penalty.

47'

Held up

Inches. McDowall and McLean combine and think they're over the line for try number three, but the call is held up and it'll be a goal-line drop-out.

47'

Glasgow ball

Lovely inside ball to WIlson - McDowall through a gap!

45'

Glasgow ball

Like a flash the Warriors are into the Bath 22, as Rufus McLean races clear down the touchline. Wilson and Miotti keep it alive, before the forwards step up in the form of Neild and du Preez.

44'

Turnover

Great work from Bhatti and Berghan, who hold up Tom de Glanville and - with assistance from Ryan Wilson and Miotti - win the turnover. Scrum to the Warriors on the 10m line.

44'

Turnover

Another steal, this time from JP du Preez, and Neild carries into contact. Bath then turn it over themselves, though, and find themselves in possession on their own 10m line.

43'

Bath lineout

Steyn almost gets on the outside of Cokanasiga, but steps on the touchline and it's a Bath lineout.

42'

Turnover

Bean with the lineout steal and Glasgow on the charge - Turner and Smith testing the wide channels.

41'

Penalty Bath

Almost a lightning start for the Warriors, as Steyn regathers Dobie's box-kick and races clear. A tap tackle brings the captain down, before Glasgow go off feet in the chase. Bath find touch on the Glasgow 10m line.

40'

Kick-off

Off we go again, as Francis hoists the kick-off high for Mann to claim.

13:49

Half Time

That'll do it for the first half - two early scores from Lewis Bean and George Turner had put Glasgow in the lead before Bath replied, only for Huw Jones to put the Warriors back in front with the last play of the half. More to come after the break!

40'

Conversion

Cool as you like from Miotti, who adds the conversion with the last play of the half.

39

TRY GLASGOW

HUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWW! He's back! On his 50th appearance for the club, Huw Jones steps inside two defenders and fights his way over for a brilliant try

38'

Glasgow ball

Turner finds du Preez again, before Neild has a charge in midfield. Chance here!

37'

Penalty Glasgow

Brilliant defence from the Warriors - first Smith joins the line to chop down his man, then Turner and Berghan combine to win the penalty from the referee. Miotti finds touch just inside the Bath 22.

36'

Bath ball

Another loose ball in midfield and McDowall harries Cam Redpath into diving on the ball for a loss of 15 metres. Spencer kicks long, and Steyn returns the favour.

35'

Penalty Bath

Bath get away with another one - a loose ball sees Glasgow fire through, but Mann is penalised for going off feet as he slips going into the ruck. Francis finds touch on the Glasgow 10m line.

34

Bath ball

Bath look to move the point of attack, but White slips as he comes away from the maul. The Warriors think they've turned it over and they'd be right - Miotti clears to touch on halfway.

32'

Penalty Bath

Lewis Boyce gets the upper hand at the scrum and Bath are awarded the penalty. Francis takes play into the Glasgow 22 again.

31'

Scrum Bath

Smith sees a high ball slip through his fingers - Glasgow appeal that the ball went back, the ref disagrees. Scrum Bath on halfway.

30'

Try Bath

This time Bath make their territory count - it's Fergus Lee-Warner who fights his way over the line and gets the ball down. Francis adds the extras and we're all-square.

28'

Bath ball

Great work from Bean and du Preez to fight through and stop the maul, but the referee has spotted an earlier infrigement and Bath will go to the corner again.

26'

Penalty Bath

The check was for a clear-out by Cameron Neild, but there's nothing in it according to the officials so we come back for the original penalty. Francis finds touch five metres from the Glasgow line.

26'

Penalty Bath

White gets over the ball first, and Bath are rewarded with the penalty. There's a stoppage here, as Arthur Cordwell is down injured. The referee wants to look at something with the TMO, to boot.

25'

Penalty Glasgow

Bath are pinged for obstruction at the lineout, and Miotti boots it long. He misses touch, but Bath do likewise in return and Glasgow counter on halfway.

24'

Bath ball

Francis redeems himself by beating Smith to the high ball, before the referee penalises Turner for the counter-ruck. Seems like a harsh one, but Francis doesn't hang around and sticks the penalty into touch on the 22.

23'

Try Bath

The second effort is what gets Bath over the whitewash, as Wesley White does just enough to get the ball down under the pressure of Dobie. Francis leaves the kick short, so it's 12-5

22'

Bath ball

Clean win from Bath but Glasgow fighting to repel the maul, which they do brilliantly.

21'

Penalty Bath

The counter-drive from Glasgow is a fraction too early and the referee pings them for contact in the air - Bath go back to the corner.

20'

Penalty Bath

This time the penalty at the scrum goes the way of the hosts, and Piers Francis finds touch inside the Glasgow 22.

19'

Scrum Glasgow

Brilliant shot from Jones in midfield - he reads the play superbly, firing up on Ollie Lawrence and forcing the knock-on. Glasgow scrum just inside the Bath half.

17'

Bath ball

Bath survive by the skin of their teeth - a loose kick sees Miotti hare across the field to try and take advantage, but he can't quite gather it cleanly and it goes into touch

16'

Conversion is good

No mistake from Miotti and he adds the extra two.

15'

TRY GLASGOW

Unstoppable! A textbook maul from the Glasgow pack - and a few supporting backs - sees Turner rumble his way over for the score!

15'

Glasgow ball

Turner to du Preez again and here comes the drive...

14'

Penalty Glasgow

Turner finds JP du Preez at the top of his jump, before McDowall carries into midfield. Advantage is being played for a high tackle on Smith, which turns into a penalty that Miotti sticks into the corner.

12'

Penalty Glasgow

Great work from Dobie as he hounds Ben Spencer at the base, before Mann gets over the ball and wins a textbook turnover penalty. Miotti finds touch on the Bath 22.

11'

Scrum Bath

The throw is deemed to be not straight, and Bath will have the put-in at the scrum.

9'

Scrum Glasgow

Both sides testing the full-backs with the box-kick, before Steyn chops Joe Cokaniasiga and forces the knock-on - Glasgow scrum on their own 10m line.

8'

Bath ball

A first carry in anger for Jack Mann, who breaks the gain line and finds Dobie in support. Bath turn it over and look to counter, but Miotti chops down Ted Hill.

7'

Penalty Glasgow

This time the shove is perfectly timed, and Berghan is rewarded with the penalty. Miotti takes play inside the Bath half with a booming kick.

7'

Free-kick Bath

Glasgow shove a bit too early for the ref's liking, and the free-kick is awarded - Bath opt to scrum again.

6'

Scrum Bath

Glasgow look to carry out of the 22, but the referee has spotted a knock-on and the scrum is awarded to Bath.

5'

Missed conversion

Domingo Miotti pulls the kick just wide, but it's a 5-0 lead to the Warriors.

4'

TRY GLASGOW

The ideal start! Huw Jones makes great yardage in the wide channels before being held a metre short, but there is no stopping Lewis Bean on the follow-up carry! What an opening for the Warriors!

4'

Free-kick Glasgow

An early shove for Bath and Glasgow tap quickly...

3'

Scrum Bath

Simon Berghan can't quite hold onto the ball, and it'll be a scrum to the home side.

2'

Glasgow ball

A first rumble for George Turner, before Smith releases Kyle Steyn - the captain into the Bath 22 and Glasgow on the run.

1'

Glasgow ball

An early test for Ollie Smith as he takes a high ball under immense pressure, but the full-back does well. Jamie Dobie then puts it long for Bath to cover on their own 22.
