I believe Glirdan proactively participating in lynching Sally is a sign of his innocence although not proof. At this point only a very shrewd wolf would actively go after a fellow wolf, because, let’s face it, a wolf lynched is a step towards a village victory, and an innocent lynched is a step away from that, there’s no getting around that simple fact. A wolf jumping on the bandwagon, yes why not, but actively working to make that bandwagon happen, I doubt it. I could be wrong and maybe that’s everyday business in the ww-world, but to me that feels like too much of a gamble for uncertain profits.
While your reasoning is sound, in practice what we call "wolf-on-wolf" voting is rather common, and yesterDay was pretty much a classic situation for it, with Sallywolf under suspicion from early on, and the wolfpack being able to afford losing a member (three left, after all). It would probably be more important to them to try and look good than to save her. It's rare for the entire pack to survive, even when they win. (Note: this is a general tip, not meant just to apply to Glirdan.)

Anyway, my recollection is that Glirdan's suspicion of Sally was quite lukewarm at first, and that he put forward some others, which no-one really bit on. I suppose I'd better go and check (though I agree with whoever said we shouldn't focus too much on him alone).

EDIT:X'd with Greenie. Added comment.
