A Sabbath evening's ending in warm light in European city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glasgow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european city' is the definition.
'glasgow' can be an answer for 'city' (Glasgow is an example). I am not certain of the 'european' bit.

'a sabbath evening's ending in warm light' is the wordplay.
'sabbath' becomes 's'.
'ending' suggests the final letters (the ending of the word).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'warm light' becomes 'glow' (glow is a kind of light. I am not sure about the 'warm' bit.).
The last letter of 'evening' is 'g'.
'a'+'s'+'g'='asg'
'asg' inserted inside 'glow' is 'GLASGOW'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
