The victorious Glasgow Warriors received a hero's welcome as 4,500 fans welcomed the United Rugby Championship (URC) winners back to Scotstoun.
Captain Kyle Steyn and his Scotland colleague Sione Tuipulotu brought out the trophy to a rapturous reception.
The Warriors, fresh from 72 hours of celebrations, lifted the trophy in front of their own fans, with their 'We Are Warriors' chant given a makeover to 'We Are Champions'.

The whole squad then spent more than an hour signing autographs and posing for pictures with supporters, who had to watch the final from afar, unable to make the 8,500-mile trip at a week's notice.
There were huge cheers when Steyn lifted the trophy, but the biggest ovation of the night was reserved for head coach Franco Smith, who has transformed the Warriors in the two years since he took over.

Chants of 'Franco, Franco' greeted the South African, who thanked the 'Warrior Nation' for their support throughout a campaign during which his side were unbeaten at Scotstoun in the league.
As he referenced post-match on Saturday, Smith said he hopes the title win - the second in the club's history after their 2015 Pro12 triumph - is the start of a successful period.
When he addressed the crowd about next season, Smith said: "I'm not promising anything, but we'll be the best we can be."
There was also a huge reception for John Manson, the hugely popular Warriors team manager who ensured the travelling party navigated the arduous trip to Pretoria via Johannesburg and Dubai at just six days' notice.
It was no mean logistical feat, and for Glasgow to have conquered the Bulls in their vaunted Pretoria home, a week after knocking out defending champions Munster at Thomond Park, meant the Warriors won the trophy the hard way.
Steyn, who has been an inspired appointment as Glasgow's captain, also spoke about the turnaround under the former Italy head coach.
He took over with Glasgow on their knees having been annihilated 76-14 by Leinster in Dublin - a result that cost then-boss Danny Wilson his job just days later.

If you had asked Glasgow fans then if they would be celebrating a league title just two years later, not many - if any - would have believed you.
The challenge for the club - and Smith's team - is to make sure these supporters who turned out in their droves on a Tuesday evening don't have to wait another nine years for the next title celebration.
