ScotRail has sent an update to football fans ahead this weekend's League Cup Final.

The train operator has announced that more seats will be added to its services to help supporters travel to Hampden Park.

Rangers will face Celtic at the stadium at 3pm on Sunday.

Extra carriages will be added to trains between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida and between Glasgow Central and Kings Park before and after the match.

The company also issued a warning to all travellers that trains will be much busier than usual and they encourage them to plan ahead.

Celtic fans travelling to the match are advised to travel on services to Kings Park, while Rangers supporters will be directed to Mount Florida. 

Separate queues will be in place for fans at Glasgow Central station. Rangers fans will queue for services to Mount Florida via the carriage driveway on Hope Street, while Celtic supporters will queue for services to Kings Park via the main concourse in Glasgow Central station.

After the match, Rangers fans should travel home via Mount Florida, while Celtic supporters should make their way home from Kings Park station. 

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. 

Phil Campbell, ScotRail head of Customer Operations, said:  “ScotRail is looking forward to helping fans travel to the match to cheer on their side and see who claims the first piece of silverware of the Scottish football calendar. 

“We’ll be adding more seats to trains to keep people moving hassle-free, but customers should plan their journeys in advance and allow some additional time for travel. 

“To minimise your need to queue, buy your return tickets before you travel on the ScotRail app or website.”
