Travel Advice: Scottish Cup Final

RANGERS are in action in the Scottish Cup Final on Saturday and fans attending the game should read the following travel advice.

PARKING RESTRICTIONS

Persons attending events at Hampden Park should be aware that the area immediately surrounding the stadium is mainly residential and the availability of on-street parking is extremely limited due to event specific parking restrictions.

On event days we would advise persons attending Hampden Park where possible to use public transport to get to and from the stadium, if not travelling by organised coach/bus.
