After three games in the competition their sole "result" has been a draw with Edinburgh at Hughenden last week. To that can be added two away defeats – first, by Edinburgh and, more recently, by the Borders at chilly Netherdale this afternoon.
Kiwi Searancke, Glasgow's coach, summed it up: "We're digging a big hole for ourselves. Then we're trying to climb out." The same could now be said of Glasgow’s position in this domestic championship.
