First ScotRail message:
The train operator is keen to ensure that football fans check train times before travelling and allow sufficient time for their return journey home after the game.
Additional carriages will be added to late return services back from Edinburgh to Dundee.
Queuing systems will be in place at Edinburgh Haymarket station with additional staff on hand to assist passengers.
Lothian & Borders Police have asked us to communicate the following advice regarding bus transportation to Tynecastle:
Buses should enter Edinburgh via Barnton Roundabout to Gogar Roundabout, Corstophine Road to Haymarket, then Dalry Road and Gorgie Road to Tynecastle Park. Buses are parked as normal. Aberdeen supporters are directed via different routes.
Lothian & Borders Police have also asked us to appraise supporters of the undernoted message:
"During recent months, it has become apparent that various groups of supporters travelling to and from Edinburgh for football fixtures have been openly disregarding certain provisions of The Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act, 1995, in relation to alcohol and supporters' buses.
"Although the above legislation is fairly complex, it basically makes it an offence for any person to be drunk or to carry alcohol on a bus that is capable of carrying 9 or more supporters, and that is hired for the purpose of conveying supporters to or from a senior football fixture in Scotland.
"The onus for ensuring there are no drunken supporters or alcohol on a supporters bus falls on several people.
"Any supporter found to be drunk or carrying alcohol on a supporters' bus would be liable to arrest, imprisonment and a substantial fine.
"In addition to the supporter, the driver, the hirer of the bus and the bus operator would also be reported and similar penalties would apply.
"On match days, a team of officers will now be specifically tasked to carry out checks on supporters buses to ensure the aforementioned legislation is being adhered to.
"Lothian and Borders Police would encourage all supporters, regardless of their team affiliation, to enjoy visiting Edinburgh to support their team. We would however, ask for your cooperation in ensuring that this enjoyment is not spoilt by those who continue to be drunk, or to carry alcohol, on football supporters' buses."
