  3. 'A step in the right direction' - Wilson

    FT: Harlequins 28-24 Glasgow

    Harlequins head coach Danny Wilson tells TNT Sports: "The character of the boys was really pleasing. They got back in the game well, and to score a rolling maul against them is great.

    "That's a step in the right direction for us, because we've not defended that well in the last few games."

    On beating his former employers: "I'd love to stand here and say it's not about that, but it is. To win a knockout game is pleasing, but to do it against Glasgow is even more pleasing.

    "I knew against Glasgow with their form and the way they're playing would be really tough.

    "If it's Sarries [in the quarter-finals] and it's at home that would be great, but an away trip to Bordeaux isn't too bad."

    It's a dreadful decision. You back your defence and bank your chips.

    It's something they will look back on and regret.

    The TV team are debating Glasgow's decision to go to the corner rather than kick at goal with six minutes to go...

    What a spectacle and what an advert for the Champions Cup that was.

  8. 'It's a monkey off the back' - Smith

    FT: Harlequins 28-24 Glasgow

    Harlequins fly-half Marcus Smith has been named Player of the Match having had a hand in three of Quins' four tries.

    "Whenever we're ahead, we seem to let the opposition in; that's something we're working on," Smith told TNT Sports.

    "We're still not where we want to be, but we've got another European knockout now, which is exciting.

    "In the last two years we've fallen at this hurdle, so that's a monkey off the back. We'll enjoy tonight because we haven't done it before.

    "The biggest thing was to stick to the plan. Glasgow are an excellent team, and massive credit goes to the forwards for mauling over at the end there."

    Peter Wright

    Former Scotland prop on Sportsound

    Silly errors at the wrong time cost Glasgow.

    They dominated that second half, and will be really disappointed. Credit to Quins, who took their chance at the end.

  10. Full-time

    Harlequins 28-24 Glasgow

    Quins hang on!

    Duncan Weir goes for a speculative cross-field kick, but it's just in front of Jamie Dobie and skips into touch.

  11. Post update

    Harlequins 28-24 Glasgow

    Ten seconds left. Glasgow still have the ball, probing outside the 22.

  12. Post update

    Harlequins 28-24 Glasgow

    Wow. Joe Launchbury drops the restart and Glasgow have possession just outside the Quins 22.

    This is the game, right here...

    They controlled the maul really well, Glasgow crumble, and over they go.

    It's a good try, but it comes from Glasgow errors.

  14. Converted try Harlequins 28-24 Glasgow

    Sam Riley

    That could be a telling blow!

    Harlequins safely gather the lineout and Glasgow have no answers to the hosts' rolling maul.

    Sam Riley takes the plaudits and the home crowd are on their feet.

    Marcus Smith adds the extras, which means Glasgow need a try in the three minutes that remain.

  15. Post update

    Harlequins 21-24 Glasgow

    Back in London, Harlequins win another penalty, this time in the Glasgow 22.

    Marcus Smith kicks to the corner...

  16. Elsewhere

    For those of you wondering what's happening in the West Country...

    It's all over at Kingsholm, where Gloucester are into the Challenge Cup quarter-finals.

    Castres scored two late tries but three second-half Santiago Carreras penalties see the Cherry and Whites claim a 30-25 victory.

  17. Post update

    Harlequins 21-24 Glasgow

    Josh McKay can't deal with an awkward bouncing ball, knocks-on and Quins have a scrum inside the Glasgow half.

    The Stoop are right behind their team now.

  18. Post update

    Harlequins 21-24 Glasgow

    Andre Esterhuizen gets over the ball to win a massive penalty for Harlequins.

    They were really on the ropes there.

    Joe Marler returns to the fray and the home side are back up to their full contingent.

  19. Post update

    Harlequins 21-24 Glasgow

    A superb kick chase from Glasgow puts the hosts under serious pressure, and Scott Cummings wins Glasgow a penalty at the breakdown.

    Duncan Weir, on for Tom Jordan, kicks to the corner. Big chance...

  20. Post update

    Harlequins 21-24 Glasgow

    That is a colossal defensive effort from Harlequins, who force a Glasgow error and clear their lines.
