Glasgow dented Wasps' euro hopes with a shock victory at Firhill Arena on Sunday - The Scotsman's David Ferguson was there.
"Glasgow coach Sean Lineen was the least surprised man at Firhill yesterday after his side pulled off another of the great Heineken Cup upsets by beating Wasps, leaving the English Premiership side struggling to qualify for the quarter-finals.
"Lineen had seen it before, notably two years ago when Glasgow stunned Toulouse in France, while Wasps, fresh from winning the Heineken Cup, also came to grief in Edinburgh five years ago. Yesterday, he needed his charges to restore some pride in Scottish rugby after a campaign with just one win in four games and a demoralising thumping for Edinburgh at Northampton on Friday night.
"They did that in disposing of a star-studded Wasps side by 20-10 at Firhill in the penultimate round of Heineken Cup pool action, and what made Glasgow's achievement even greater was that they did it without first-choice internationalists Johnnie Beattie, John Barclay, Max Evans, Canadian winger DTH van der Merwe, Graeme Morrison, Chris Cusiter and Rob Dewey."
