Glasgow produced one of the greatest wins in their history by recovering from a 21-point deficit to topple Investec Champions Cup heavyweights Toulouse 28-21 at Scotstoun.

Six-time European champions Toulouse celebrated Antoine Dupont's first start since sustaining a serious knee injury in March by running in three tries with the France captain crossing once and Kalvin Gourgues adding two more.

Dupont was pulling the stings brilliantly, but the game was turned on its head in the 58th minute when full-back Josh McKay galloped over to ignite a stunning comeback.

Gregor Brown and Sione Tuipulotu crashed over from close range before hooker Gregor Hiddleston propelled Glasgow in front for the first time when he was at the end of a line-out drive in the 70th minute.

Crucially, man of the match Adam Hastings nailed all four conversions on a momentous night for the indomitable Warriors.
