Glasgow lost 20-5 to Ospreys in the Magners League semi-final
Glasgow are displeased by the timing of the decision to dock the Ospreys points for next season's Magners League.
Ospreys beat Glasgow 20-5 at the Liberty Stadium to reach the first ever Magners League Grand Final.
But the visitors are unhappy they did not have time to challenge the penalty imposed on the Welsh side for failing to fulfil a fixture earlier this term.
Had the points been removed from this campaign, Glasgow would have had home advantage in the semi-final tie.
"It's frustrating, and that's an understatement," chief executive Kenny Baillie told BBC Radio Scotland. "I think home advantage could have been crucial."
On Thursday, Ospreys were fined £100,000 and docked four points from next season's Magners League for postponing their 19 March game at Ulster.
They asked to call the game off insisting they did not have sufficient front-row cover and went on to win the rearranged game 38-27 to help them finish second in the standings.
"The discipline panel decided that the Ospreys were guilty of misconduct, with a heavy fine and a points deduction," added Baillie in the aftermath of the defeat in Swansea.
"Those four points (had they been removed this season) would have meant we would have been at home. I would have expected Firhill to be near capacity and that result could have been completely different.
"The timing of the decision has affected our ability to get to the final - two days out from the play-offs - it meant it would be impossible to change things at the last minute."
Baillie was unsure if he would pursue the matter but does feel his club and its followers have been hard done by.
"It's something we need to think about," he said. "But I feel very disappointed for the supporters. We had a fantastic group of maybe 150 fans down here and they were definitely making the most noise.
"That could have been close to 10,000 in Glasgow and, who knows, that could have been the difference.

MY SPORT: DEBATE
Are Glasgow right to grumble?
"When you get to this stage, you realise how important home advantage is."
Glasgow head coach Sean Lineen was reluctant to discuss the issue, preferring to praise his players in defeat.
However, he did express further frustration when asked about the points deduction controversy, saying: "That's for the authorities, who have not dealt with it very well, it's all about the rugby for us."
Glasgow were overpowered by a very physical home side and made too many errors to build any momentum, while Dan Parks had a rare off night - missing eight points' worth of kicks.
"I thought the guys played well and showed a lot of character," said Lineen. "The defence was absolutely outstanding.
"We didn't get the rub of the green anywhere.
"Perhaps we did not play enough territory and we played a bit too much in the final third when we just needed to put it in the corners.
"Their two tries came from turnovers and that's how they get their momentum.
"The number of players they take off the ball - they should be playing American Football. It's unbelievable but they get away with it, so good on them.
"We need to learn from this and take the next step."
