Stadium Access
To ensure a smooth entry into Hampden Park, it is recommended for Rangers supporters to arrive early as the turnstiles will open at 1:30pm. It is imperative to refrain from the use of pyrotechnics within Scottish football stadiums, as possession of such devices may result in arrest and penalties for the club.
Supporter flags will be permitted into the stadium but are subject to visual checks by Hampden security. Flags on canes are only allowed if the canes are smaller than 1m and no wider than a pinky finger’s width. Surfing banners are not permitted.
Parking Restrictions
Due to the mainly residential area around the stadium, on-street parking is limited because of event-specific parking restrictions. Therefore, supporters are encouraged to use public transport to avoid inconveniencing local residents.

For those opting for public transport, Traveline Scotland is an excellent resource for commuting options to and from the stadium. Scotrail will be running extra services before and after the event, with Mount Florida train station being the recommended option for Rangers supporters.
Bus Routes to West of Stadium
Rangers supporters traveling by bus should follow the designated routes for smooth access to the stadium. Detailed instructions for bus routes can be obtained at M8/M74 to M77, and club coaches should only deviate from these routes if they possess a specific Hampden Car Park pass.
Fan Activities
The Broomloan Collective is encouraging all supporters to bring a scarf to the match, aiming to create a vibrant and colorful atmosphere within the stadium.
Supporter Behaviour
It is essential for all fans to uphold the values of respect and inclusion. The “Everyone Anyone” campaign conveys a message of unity and zero-tolerance towards discrimination. Discriminatory chanting is not acceptable and may result in punitive measures from football governing bodies.
In conclusion, all Rangers fans are urged to adhere to the guidelines provided and contribute to a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone attending the Viaplay League Cup final at Hampden Park.
Sincerely,
