Extra rail services added ahead of Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park

ScotRail has added additional services for football fans ahead of Saturday’s Scottish Cup Final.

The train operator announced extra carriages will be available between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida before and after the match between Celtic and Dunfermline.

Thousands of supporters are set to descend on Hampden Park as the newly-crowned Scottish Premiership champions take on the Championship side in the showpiece final.

Gordon Street and Union Street entrances to Glasgow Central Station remain closed, with fans travelling via Mount Florida being instructed to enter from the Carriage Drive on Hope Street.

All other customers should enter via the low-level entrance on Argyle Street or Hope Street, opposite Waterloo Street.

A ScotRail spokesperson said: “Additional trains and extra carriages will operate between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida before and after the match.

“Additional staff will be available before and after the match to help customers board safely.

Customers travelling by rail are encouraged to plan ahead and buy their tickets before joining the queuing system.
