Ulster proved to be too strong for Celtic League rivals Glasgow Warriors and left Scotstoun Stadium as 8-19 winners in Heineken Cup pool 4.
Ulster, who had crushed Castres 41-17 in their opening Pool 4 match in Belfast last weekend, had led 6-3 at half-time thanks to two penalties from Paddy Jackson.
Back row forward Chris Henry extended their lead with their only try of the game after 68 minutes with Jackson adding the extras for 13-6.
Jackson added two more penalties to give 1999 champions Ulster a cushion which made Glasgow's last minute try from Fijian replacement scrum-half Nikola Matawalu a mere consolation.
"It's not easy to come here and get a victory as other teams I'm sure will find out," said Ulster head coach Mark Anscombe.
"We showed a lot of character, the boys battled their way through tough conditions against a very good team. "
"You have got to be able to work through things because the game of rugby doesn't always go the way you want it."
