64'Player substituted - Julien Bardy , Montpellier Herault
64'Substitute on - Fulgence Ouedraogo , Montpellier Herault
61'Montpellier on the front foot but another needless penalty allows Glasgow to clear their lines. They've reigned in their attacking somewhat so far in this second half, reverting to their powerful forwards

50'Substitute on - Gabriel Ngandebe , Montpellier Herault
