Warriors coach says improvement will be needed next week
Glasgow coach Sean Lineen admitted the Warriors will need to play better at Montpellier next week after beating their French rivals 20-15 at Firhill.
The win kept alive their hopes of progressing from Heineken Cup Pool Three after Federico Aramburu crossed for a 76th-minute try.
But Montpellier hit back late on with substitute Masi Matadigo ensuring his side went away with what could be a crucial losing bonus point.
And Lineen confessed he is already concerned about next week's trip across the channel.
"We've got to go with a realistic ambition of winning the away game," he said. "It's going to be incredibly tough.
"If we play like we did in the first half today, we'll be 30 points down. We need to make sure we go across there, get the basics right.
"They've got some fantastic players and when they get their momentum going they're incredibly difficult to beat.
"Unfortunately, giving them the bonus point takes the gloss off a bit. We needed to tighten up there. We got a bit carried away trying to score, going from two metres from their line to them scoring at the other end shows what they're capable of."
Fantastic
Nonetheless, Lineen was thrilled with the result which puts the Warriors three points behind Leinster with three matches remaining.
"The players just needed to go up a couple of gears - we're just getting these wins," he added.
"If we had kept the tempo, kept the ball a bit longer in the right areas, we could've perhaps scored a couple more tries.
"But this is a fantastic win. To cap it off with a great set-piece try was absolutely marvellous."
He was pleased with Rory Lamont's contribution on his second Warriors debut after re-signing from Toulon, despite the Scotland back being a peripheral figure in the first half.
"We've got Rory in and it was as if they didn't want to give him the ball in the first half," Lineen said. "He got through that first tackle and kept the ball alive really well.
"He's buzzed up. I had a chat to him after the game and he loved it - he loved the 40 minutes he played and we just need to look at how we get our big ball carriers involved."
