Rangers and Celtic fans handed boost as Scotrail put on extra seats and issue Hampden travel advice

Scotrail have confirmed that extra seats will be added to services this weekend to get Celtic and Rangers fans to the Hampden.

The Old Firm duo go head to head in the League Cup Final at the National Stadium on Sunday with the big showdown kicking off at 3pm. Extra carriages will be added to trains running between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida and between Glasgow Central and King's Park before and after the showpiece event.

Scotrail have issued a video alongside their post confirming the boost to supporters making their way to the south side. In the clip customers are being advised to allow additional time for travel with a queuing system in place before the football plus at the two stations either side of Hampden after the final whistle.

Separate queues will be in place for supporters with Rangers fans in line for services to Mount Florida waiting via the carriage driveway on Hope street while Celtic supporters using the service to King's Park being housed via the main concourse in the station.

Rangers fans are advised to travel home via Mount Florida after the final with Celtic asked to head home via King's Park.

It will be sell-out crowd in Glasgow with the first piece of silverware in the domestic season up for grabs. Michael Beale goes into the game still unbeaten as Rangers boss while Ange Postecoglou's holders haven't tasted defeat for an extended period.

Both go into the big occasion on the back of Premiership wins with Celtic defeating Aberdeen 4-0 at Parkhead and Rangers running out 3-0 winners over Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
