SCOTRAIL has issued a warning ahead of an iconic rock band's gig in Glasgow next week.
Foo Fighters are set to perform at Hampden Park in the Southside on Monday, June 17.
Ahead of the event, the rail firm is urging fans to allow extra time for travel as trains to and from the city centre are expected to be more popular than normal.
They are also advising concertgoers to plan their journeys and buy their train tickets in advance.

On top of that, ScotRail has said extra services will be added to and from Glasgow Central for the gig.
The travel company will be adding as many trains as possible from Central Station to Mount Florida - the closest to the venue.
Additional late-night services have also been announced, helping as many fans as possible return to Glasgow Central by train.
Before and after the concert, extra rail staff will be on hand at key stations to help customers as well.
Meanwhile, ScotRail is also urging travellers that carrying and drinking alcohol on trains and at stations is prohibited.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail customer operations director, said: “We’re looking forward to helping music fans travel by train to see the Foo Fighters in concert at Hampden Park on Monday night.
“We’re adding more services between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida to help fans travel to and from the event.
“Our advice to customers is to allow extra time for travel as trains are likely to be more popular than normal on Monday evening.
"Buying return tickets before you board will help your journey run smoothly.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
