Hundreds of football fans heading to Hampden for Scotland's Euro 2020 clash with Russia face missing the kick-off due to chaos on the railways.

Several services from Glasgow Central have been cancelled, delayed or revised after a "communication alarm" was activated on a train earlier this evening.

Passengers heading for the national stadium now face missing a portion of the match after being stranded on the train for over an hour.
