Glasgow ran-in 10 tries as they demolished Zebre 70-10 to move top of the PRO12 table and guarantee them a spot in the end of season play-offs.
In a one-sided contest at Scotstoun Stadium, lock Leone Nakarawa touched down three times while Duncan Weir pocketed 25 points, including a 73rd minute try.
Their Italian visitors went over twice before the break, while the Warriors compiled 35 unanswered points in the second half.
In addition to Nakarawa's hat-trick, there were two tries for Glenn Bryce, while Adam Ashe, Taqele Naiyaravoro, Greg Peterson and Ali Price also went over - along with Weir.
Kayle van Zyl and Tommaso Boni touched down for Zebre who earlier in the month conceded 43 points to the same opponents.
The result, coupled with Connacht's surprise defeat at Treviso, lifted the Warriors top of the table.
Three of Glasgow's tries came during a 10-minute purple patch just before the break, and produced the best moment of the match through full-back Bryce who ran 40 metres following two short passes from a scrum.
The bonus-point try belonged to right winger Naiyaravoro following Weir's deft side-foot kick.
Nakarawa, who completed his hat-trick 12 minutes into the second half, also provided the assist for Peterson.
It was all one-way traffic after the break and, with the minutes ticking down, Glasgow even rejected a penalty attempt in search of their 11th score but in the end had to settle for 10.
