Glasgow moved to the top of the Guinness PRO12 with a 40-23 victory over bottom side Treviso at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo on Sunday.
Glasgow came back from 10-0 down to claim the bonus point win in Italy and leapfrog the Ospreys at the top of the overall standings.
Tommy Seymour grabbed a brace of tries while Tyrone Holmes, James Eddie, DTH van der Merwe and Sean Lamont also crossed the whitewash. Duncan Weir kicked three conversions and Finn Russell two.
Fly-half Joe Carlisle opened the scoring with a penalty for Treviso in the first minute before Michele Campagnaro scored the first of his two tries, which Carlisle converted as the hosts made a brilliant start.
The Warriors hit back when Seymour scored his first try four minutes later before Holmes levelled the score at 10-10 when he crossed in the 23rd minute.
Weir converted before adding the extras to Seymour's second to put Glasgow nine points ahead, although Carlisle closed the gap to 19-16 at half time with two more penalties.
Eddie crossed for a converted try 10 minutes into the second period and after that the visitors did not look back, moving 40-16 ahead after converted scores from Van der Merwe and Lamont.
Campagnaro crossed in the corner for his second to give the home side a glimmer of hope with 15 minutes remaining, but Jayden Hayward’s conversion proved to be the last score of the game.
