Ulster have missed out on a place in the Pro 12 final as regular-season table-toppers Glasgow Warriors beat them by two points.
The Scottish club play the winners of tomorrow's match between Munster and Ospreys in the title game in Belfast a week tomorrow.
Chris Henry's try in the 18th minute has given the visitors a deserved lead with Ulster enjoying the majority of the possession in the opening half and they also dominated their guests in the scrum as they looked to take control.
But a penalty apiece from out-half Finn Russell and full-back Stuart Hogg kept the Warriors in touch.
In the second half, DTH van der Merwe late try swung the advantage in Glasgow's advantage as the home side secured a 16-14 victory.
