Stafford McDowall paid tribute to Glasgow's inexperienced players after they ground out a 19-17 victory over Scarlets in the URC. A Warriors side missing the likes of Sione Tuipulotu, Rory Darge and the Fagerson brothers were pushed all the way by the Welsh side but ultimately found a way to win while not at their best. Captain McDowall was impressed with how the likes of Fin Richardson and Jare Oguntibeju - making their first appearance for Glasgow - acquitted themselves.
"It sounds weird, but it's probably one of my proudest nights in a Warriors jersey," McDowall told BBC Scotland. "A young team out there against a fully loaded team with internationals against us and we found a way to win, which is a nice thing. "If you look back to that Bath [Challenge Cup] game a couple of years ago, we went down with a young team, Bayonne last year we went away - it's those types of games that define this squad.
"We talked about springboarding ourselves into Europe next week with a big win. Maybe it wasn't a big win, but it was a win and that's all that matters. "Unbelievable effort from some guys, first time pulling on the jersey, some guys haven't played in two years, we battled and we got a win.
".
