Glasgow skipper Alastair Kellock admitted his Warriors were shattered by their elimination from the European Challenge Cup to Saracens.

He said: "The boys are gutted. We ran the legs off ourselves.

"We didn't start particularly well and gave away a couple of soft penalties but we reacted well and could have won.

"Once we find that extra inch we will start winning these games."

Sean Lineen, the Glasgow coach, added: "I'm proud of the guys, especially the second-half performance, but we just gave ourselves too much to do.

"We're sitting in the dressing room knowing we could have beaten one of the form teams in Europe."
