ScotRail have somehow managed to put on a special Inverness train for their upcoming clash against Celtic.
On Saturday 3 June, Ange Postecoglou‘s side will take on the Highlanders in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park.
The game will kick-off at 5:30 after a controversial change made by the SFA. The later start makes travel back home difficult for some ICT fans, and that’s where ScotRail have stepped in.
The train operators don’t often add ‘football specials’ and many Celtic supporters travelling from far off would like to see them become a more regular occurrence.
For next month’s game, they will run a train from Inverness down to Glasgow and back up north later in the evening.
The service will leave Inverness station at 11:03 before travelling without any stops to Glasgow Queen Street.
After the game, it will depart Glasgow Queen Street at 20:48, or 21:30 in the event of extra time or penalties. (ScotRail)
But while many will raise eyebrows at the lack of a similar service when Celtic fans visit Dingwall on midweek nights, others will certainly baulk at the price: a whopping £76.90 for adults.
The price seems extortionate for a three hour journey to and from Glasgow, but it seems like that pain will only be felt by Inverness Caledonian Thistle fans.
They’ll be hoping that their efforts are rewarded with a major scalp at Hampden Park.
But, against this Ange Postecoglou Celtic side, you wouldn’t bet on it.
