Glasgow will take a 12-point lead into the second leg of the 1872 Cup at Murrayfield next Saturday after claiming a bonus-point 24-12 victory over Edinburgh at Hampden.

The rivals were separated by just two points at the break as Warriors led 7-5 before flexing their muscles in the second half in front of a crowd of 21,093 at Scotland’s national football stadium.

The deadlock was broken in the 10th minute when Glasgow back-rower Matt Fagerson pushed over from close range, with Adam Hastings adding the extras.

Edinburgh hit back in the 28th minute as Dylan Richardson barged over off the back of a lineout maul, but Cameron Scott was off target with the conversion.

Glasgow took command of the scoreboard in the third quarter when forwards Rory Darge and Gregor Hiddleston both crossed the line within four minutes of each other.

Edinburgh got themselves back into the match through Grant Gilchrist in the 72nd minute but substitute Seb Stephen made the game safe in the closing stages, with visiting second-row Callum Hunter-Hill sin-binned for an infringement.
