GORDON REID has admitted he would rather Glasgow's first-ever Pro12 play-off final was this weekend.

Warriors will head to defending champions Leinster on Saturday week to meet the Dubliners in their first major championship final buoyed by their gutsy 16-15 Scotstoun play-off semi-final triumph over Munster last Friday.

But teak-tough tight-head Gordy says he could do without the weekend off and would rather have kept the momentum going by meeting Brian O'Driscoll and co a week earlier.

Reid said: "To be honest I just like to be playing every weekend.

"We have some pretty awesome momentum behind us and I would rather have kept the momentum rolling along.

"By beating Munster we have secured nine wins in a row which is a new club record and when you are on that sort of roll you just can't wait to get back out there.

"So in many ways I am pretty frustrated we aren't heading to the RDS this Saturday.

"But the positive side of that is that we have the extra-time for some of the guys to get over a few bumps and bangs they took, and of course it is vital that we do our homework on Leinster.

"So I am sure the extra week is a very positive thing for the coaching staff but from a playing point of view it is a bit of a frustration."

Reid's touch down against Munster was crucial in helping Warriors into the Pro12 final and he has dedicated the match winning score to fellow and soon to be ex-team mate Moray Low.

Reid said: "Muzza has been a great mate to me and I knew how gutted he was to miss out on the semi-final with Munster. He leaves after the final for Exeter and I just wanted to record my gratitude to him by dedicating the try to Muzza.

"But you never know things may be reversed after the team is announced for Leinster."

REFLECTING on the size of the effort that was required to subdue the Munstermen at Scotstoun, Reid said: "The last five minutes was touch and go. They just kept attacking but our defensive work paid off.

"It was the best night of my career as Glasgow's my club and always will be, it was outstanding to be out there. We have worked so hard for that result and to make a final but now we are there we want our hands on the trophy.

"We have been getting closer every year and with finishing second in the table this season the proof of how far we have progressed is there for everyone to see."

Now Reid is hoping for a Glasgow Armada to set sail across the Irish sea for the final.

The Warriors' front-row said: "The supporters were outstanding against Munster and they kept lifting us, as the boys were running on empty towards the end. They gave us that extra lift and the noise they made was the difference.

"There is talk that we may take as many as 5,000 with us to Dublin and I really hope we do. Because if we get that level of backing at the RDS it will be like playing at Scotstoun and that could make all the difference again."
