Stafford McDowall went over for Glasgow's second try

Johnny Matthews opened the scoring for the Warriors early on before Matt Currie crossed for Edinburgh in a first half that saw the momentum swing back and forth.

Stafford McDowall went over for a score after the break to put Glasgow in control.

However, Duhan van der Merwe's breakaway try and the boot of Ben Healy were enough to give Edinburgh the win.

Glasgow head coach Franco Smith credited Edinburgh for taking their chances after his side fell to a five-point defeat at Murrayfield.

"It is bittersweet," he told Viaplay. "I'm disappointed, we had a lot of opportunities we didn't convert. I think they made the most of their opportunities. Well done to them for fighting back this week.

"There were one or two opportunities that I thought we breached their defence but we couldn't convert those opportunities into points.

"Credit to both teams' defences, that's what tonight was about, wearing your heart on your sleeve and going all out.

"We're coming to the end of a 12-week block now, it's been tough on the guys' bodies. We are going to use this week to reset our bodies and come back fresh, we've got a few guys coming back from injury in the next while."
