Five useful apps for your cup final visit to Glasgow

Trainline free via the app store

The Trainline app is by most accounts the best train-travel app on the market, giving you constant updates on our ever reliable transport network. Perhaps best to set off early for this one, as Hampden can be a bit of a nightmare to get to at the best of times. On cup final day, with two sets of supporters all travelling from the same direction? Yeah, probably best you get on top of the travel news early and often with the Trainline app, it’s available for iPhone and Android.

Scotranslate free via the app store

Hopefully you’ll have your Glaswegian phrase book with you already but if not, the Scotranslate app could be useful for translating your Edinburgh twang to Weegie slang. Simply choose your region, enter your text and Scotranslate will do the rest.

Sky Sports Football Score Centre free via the app store

For all your stats updates during the game, Sky sports is a pretty good place to get hold of all that, specifically Sky Sports Football Score Centre. Your half time discussions will be even more well informed with the superb in-game stat tracking.

Google places free via the app store

If you’re unfamiliar with Glasgow, or any other city you’re visiting for that matter, something like Google places can be a trusty friend. It makes it easy to find the best places to go with the touch of a button. The user reviews mean there’s not too many places that don’t have some sort of write up. On match days specifically, Google places is ideal for all your pre or post match pub and pie needs.

Hearts £2.99 via the app store

Hibs £2.99 via the app store

Both capital clubs have their own apps, which feature club specific content like videos and match build up. So if your nerves aren’t shredded enough on the journey over to Glasgow, you can ramp up the intensity with even more build up to what will be one of the biggest matches in the history of both clubs.
