Hope all those travelling up get here safely.
Once you are in Glasgow you can get a train from Glasgow Queen Street low level to either Drumgelloch or Airdrie. FYI Drumgelloch is an area of the town and the stadium is slightly nearer (15 min walk) to that station than Airdrie (20 mins).
Downside with Drumgelloch station is there is nothing there except houses. Airdrie station is a few minutes from the town centre with plenty of pubs and cafes - incl. Airdrie fans pubs Cue Here who are offering free food!
Trains are very frequent - every 10-15 mins and you can be out in Airdrie in under 30 mins, but not all trains stop at Drumgelloch!

Little known facts:
It would take Sarah and Guinevere 80 hours to do the round trip.
So far as I can ascertain, and as the crow flies, it will be the 5th furthest round trip for a competitive game involving British football clubs on UK soil (or Silicon Fibre). I have not included the 1938 Empire Exhibition Trophy match between Aberdeen and Chelsea as this was played at Ibrox.

You piqued my curiosity so I had a look at the route! I reckon I could do it in 5 days, averaging about 12 hours on the road per day including breaks. Note that 8 years ago I could have done it a lot quicker, easily in 4 days I think  Maybe I'll have a go when the children are a bit older  |

Partick Thistle "ghost goal" against Morton.
BBC
"Partick Thistle have paid Kris Doolan his goal bonus after the striker's "ghost goal" against Morton was controversially disallowed.
Doolan's 57th-minute shot hit the back of the net during his team's 1-0 Scottish Championship victory but as Thistle's players and fans celebrated, officials ruled out the effort."
LINK with video.
Let's hope we don't get this ref on Saturday!

Did I read right that Boring Wood drew 0-0 and lost 1-0 on penalties to Dunfermline?!
If so what a calamity of penalty takers both sides have.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer team.

Thanks. Flashscores were wrong then. Flash scores always do that when there's penalties ( to show which team got through), if you click on the match it then opens a further screen which shows the result of each individual penalty taken |

Reminds me of an old video game that I can't remember the name of. Thanks. |
