ScotRail have issued an a major warning to Liam Gallagher fans heading to his Hampden gig this Sunday.
The 'Everything's Electric' singer is performing on Sunday, June 26 from 4pm. ScotRail chiefs are urging fans to plan ahead as Network Rail train strikes and engineering work will cause travel chaos for another day.
Gig-goers should prepare for train cancellations, delays and bus replacements and plan accordingly. The transport provider warned that, due to the industrial action, on Saturday, delays and severe disruptions are expected on the Sunday.
A ScotRail statement read: "While large signalling centres in the Central Belt will be able to operate from 7.15am, this will not be the case at signal boxes elsewhere and it may well be later in the day before many routes are able to operate as normal. This is particularly the case for routes beyond the Central Belt, so please check your entire journey before travel."

Network Rail engineering work is taking place in the Haymarket and Barrhead areas on Sunday, meaning bus replacements will be put in place around Scotland - likely adding extra time onto journeys. Along with that, ScotRail are still running with their temporary timetable due to a shortage of drivers, so fewer trains will run in the evening.
ScotRail's statement continued: "If you're travelling from the east of the country, or from East Renfrewshire or the south-east of Scotland, please be aware that Network Rail engineering work is taking place in the Haymarket and Barrhead areas on Sunday, June 26. This means buses will replace trains between Edinburgh Waverley and Linlithgow, Edinburgh Waverley and Falkirk Grahamston, and between Edinburgh Waverley and Bathgate, as well as between Glasgow Central and Kilmarnock and between Glasgow Central and East Kilbride. If you're travelling from Carlisle and Dumfries, please consider alternate means of transport."
Amid strikes and bus replacement services, ScotRail reminded customers there will be no trains departing out of Mount Florida or Kings Park back to Glasgow Central due to the temporary timetable currently in place. There will also be no trains out of the city centre after the concert ends at 10.30pm.
For the concert, ScotRail also plan to have a queuing system in place from Glasgow Central. They urge customers to buy tickets to Mount Florida or Kings Park in advance via the mTicket system on the ScotRail app.
Their statement continued: "Buying tickets through the mTickets system means you can buy your ticket from the comfort of your home or on the way to the station and it will instantly become available on your mobile device. We'll have extra staff at the station to help and direct you, and please remember that the carrying and consumption of alcohol is prohibited on our trains."
