There will be an increased police presence in Glasgow on Saturday ahead of the Scotland vs England World Cup qualifier.

An increased police presence is expected at the game to support the large numbers of fans and armed police will also be on duty.

Outer cordons will be in place around the stadium to ensure only ticket holders are in the area.

Bag and body searches will also be in place for those attending the game.

The Scottish Football Association (SFA) has spoken with counterparts at the FA and Police Scotland and gates at the ground are expected to be open at 3pm to allow fans entry before the 5pm kick-off.

A request has also been made to Uefa for a minute's silence to be held before the start of the match in memory of the victims of the Manchester and London Bridge attacks.

Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins of Police Scotland said: "Understandably, since the tragic events in London and Manchester, people are more aware of the current threat to the UK from terrorism.

"There is no intelligence to suggest that Scotland or indeed this football match or any other event is a target but we have reviewed all forthcoming events to ensure our policing plans are robust."

Free buses are being laid on for fans from Glasgow city centre to the stadium before and after the match.

Fans will be kept segregated on public transport with Scotland fans asked to use trains to Mount Florida station before and after the game.

England supporters, meanwhile, will be asked to use King's Park station.

The SFA say supporters should expect to be searched at the outer cordons around the ground.

Additional bag searches will also be carried out at the turnstiles.

A spokesman said: "Fans are reminded that the match is sold out and are therefore encouraged to arrive early to ensure that they are in their seats for kick-off."
