ScotRail has issued a warning ahead of a big event in Glasgow.

The rail firm gave travel advice for footy fans heading to the Scotland match at Hampden Park on Tuesday, October 15.

They will be heading to watch Scotland continue their UEFA Nations League campaign as they face Portugal at the national stadium at 7.45pm.

Ahead of the clash, the firm has warned fans to 'allow additional time for travel' as queuing systems will be in place at Glasgow Central before the game and at Mount Florida, the closest station to Hampden, after the final whistle.
