Extra train services have been laid on for football fans travelling home from Scotland's semi-final play-off match against Ukraine on Wednesday.

ScotRail made the announcement hours after warning supporters travelling further than Glasgow city centre they were unlikely to get home by train.

Critics described the move as a "U-turn... after a day of chaos".

ScotRail said 13 post-match services had been added.

It tweeted: "We said we'd do our best to put on extra late-night services for supporters going to the Scotland vs Ukraine World Cup play-off at Hampden on Wednesday and we've been working hard to do that. We've managed to schedule these extra services."

The BBC says they include more trains to Edinburgh, Stirling, Ayr, Gourock, East Kilbride and Neilston.

However, there will still be no way for fans travelling to Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness or Dumfries to return home by train.

An emergency timetable is in place on ScotRail trains due to a driver dispute over pay.
