Huw Jones celebrates his try with Sebastian Cancelliere

More than 27,000 fans turned up to see Johnny Matthew score Glasgow's first try at Hampden with Huw Jones following up shortly after. Matthews made it adouble from another catch and drive to put Glasgow 21-0 ahead at the break. George Horne converted all three tries.

Edinburgh's didn't help their own cause with yellow cards for Pierre Schoeman and Marshall Sykes - the prop's yellow could easily have been a red.

Kyle Steyn and Jamie Dobie added two more tries in the second half and really could have added a few more.

In the closing minutes Boan Venter went over for a couple of consolation tries but Edinburgh were a well-beaten side.

Glasgow Head Coach Franco Smith told Premier Sports: "To see 28,000 supporters is fantastic. To have a performance like that was special.

"If we concentrate only on the fans, we'd have been carried away. We stuck to the process and plan, and scoring nice tries is always welcome. It was mostly about just being us and playing the best we can.

"The last two tries, I'm obviously disappointed. I think we all clocked off a bit and that isn't good enough. It gives Edinburgh wood for their fire and they'll come back fighting next week.

"Edinburgh did well in containing us sometimes. I thought we could have converted even better. We gave away interceptions, ran into ourselves. There's one or two things to look at."

Glasgow skipper Kyle Steyn, who returned after injury, told Premier Sports: "That was amazing. I missed these games last year, but I missed most being out there with the boys. The crowd, all the blue flags, it was cracking.

"We've been hit with injuries and had loads of rotation but whoever has put the jersey on each week has really stepped up. We've learnt our lessons well and I'm happy with where we are."

"It felt like the final in 2019."

Speaking to BBC Scotland, George Horne said: "We knew it would be a special occasion and just running out to see 25,000 fans - mainly Glasgow - was surreal. It's an unbelievable feat from the club and we did them proud.

"We know how good Edinburgh are and these games are usually a massive arm wrestle. We moved the ball well, that caused them trouble. To score those tries early got our tails up and we hung on from there.

"There's a lot on the line next week, more league points and the 1872 Cup, so we can't wait to get back next week and try and win it."

Player of the Match Sione Tuipulotu, who lined up against his brotherMosese, told Premier Sports: "[Nilling them] was the goal, definitely. The last two tries were pretty disappointing with how they came about. I'm sure we'll be spoken to about that.

"This week was weird for me, preparing to play my brother. I thought he went well tonight, I was really proud of him.

"We've still got one more week, one more game, but I'll enjoy Christmas with my brother which will be nice."
