Stuart Hogg went over for Glasgow's try

Eleven points from the boot of Finn Russell, a try from Stuart Hogg and a further six points via the kicking tee from new centurion Duncan Weir earned the Warriors a morale-boosting victory.

Replacement prop Cedate Gomes Sa touched down for the visitors but Glasgow managed to largely shut the Frenchmen out as the reigning PRO12 champions coasted to the 17-point victory.

Glasgow's Scotstoun pitch is presently unplayable due to the heavy rain and flooding that has affected much of Scotland in recent weeks, meaning the Warriors had to find a new venue.

Kilmarnock's football stadium fitted the bill, and Glasgow drew a crowd of 9,063 for the occasion.

Glasgow's defeat to Northampton last week meant they could not qualify for the knock-out stage, but they finished their campaign by inflicting a rare defeat on Racing, who advance as Pool Three winners to have home advantage in the quarter-finals.

"I'm delighted with the result. It was a hard task to achieve but a great result nonetheless," said Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend. "From minute one to 80 I thought everyone worked hard against a tough side who came to play. The conditions weren't ideal, the rain really coming down for most of the game which made it tough at times, but I felt we coped well and did what we needed to when it mattered.

"We are obviously disappointed how we ended our Champions Cup experience but we are going out on a high which hopefully can help when we get back to PRO12 duty."

Finn Russell echoed his coach's comments, adding: "It was a hard game, weather did not make it any easier, but it was a great result to end our European Champions Cup season. "It has been a disappointing Champions Cup for us but the hope is we can use this result now as a springboard and start picking up more results."
