Commuters will notice an increased police presence

An increased police presence is patrolling the underground network.

This includes 10 officers from outside Scotland who are "adept" at dealing with large football crowds and commuters on the London Underground.

British Transport Police said there was no specific security threat surrounding the game, which kicks off at 2005 GMT.

Reassure passengers

For the first time, a police officer from British Transport Police will be stationed in the underground network's Broomloan CCTV control room.

The officer will assist in monitoring crowd control and deploying officers to any potential incident.

Supt Ronnie Mellis, area commander, said: "Although there is no specific security threat surrounding this fixture, we will be working to reassure passengers travelling to the match and ensure those who may not normally use the subway get there safely.

"We are also keen that commuters who use the network on a daily basis can travel without disruption."

Donnie MacLeod, head of security with Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, said: "I would ask supporters play their part by leaving in plenty of time for their journey to the game because we expect trains to be busy."
