ScotRail is adding more seats and extra services to help football fans travel to the men’s Scottish Cup Final in Glasgow this weekend.
Celtic will face Rangers in the showpiece occasion at Hampden Park on Saturday, 25 May at 15:00.
The train operator has confirmed additional trains and extra seats will be added to services between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida, and between Glasgow Central and Kings Park, before and after the match to help supporters attend the game.
Football fans heading to Hampden should allow additional time for travel as queuing systems will be in place at Glasgow Central before the match, and at Mount Florida and Kings Park after the final whistle.
Celtic fans will queue for services to Kings Park via the main concourse at Glasgow Central, while Rangers supporters will queue for services to Mount Florida via the carriage driveway on Hope Street.
After the match, Celtic fans will then travel via Kings Park, while Rangers supporters will use Mount Florida station.
To reduce the need to queue on the day, customers are encouraged to buy return tickets in advance via the mTicket system on the ScotRail app.
Buying through the app means mTickets can be purchased from the comfort of home or on the way to the station, and it will instantly become available on a mobile device.
Customers are also reminded of engineering works on Saturday, 25 May, between Glasgow Central and Edinburgh via Shotts, where a bus replacement service is in operation.
ScotRail will have extra staff on hand to assist customers, and the train operator is reminding everyone that the carrying and consumption of alcohol is prohibited on ScotRail trains and in ScotRail stations.
