POLICE wearing body cameras will be patrolling trains as Polish fans arrive in Glasgow to watch their side take on Scotland in the Euro 2016 crunch match.

The hi-tech crime-fighting equipment will be worn by officers across the rail network before, during and after Thursday's game.

Extra police will also be deployed on services heading to Glasgow's South Side, in particular Mount Florida station.

An army of police officers and stewards will be on patrol in and around Hampden Stadium to ensure supporters are kept safe.

However, police warned the body cameras have the capability of capturing and recording the movement and behaviour of supporters.

Chief Inspector David Marshall is co-ordinating the British Transport Police operation.

He said: "It is important to stress that not everyone travelling on the train before and after the match is going to this crunch game.

"We do not want them or rail staff having to endure any kind of anti-social behaviour or disorder, which a minority of football supporters get involved in.

"Anyone found to be in possession of flares or pyrotechnics will be dealt with appropriately and may not be permitted entry to what is sure to be an exciting match.

"Alcohol restrictions are being imposed by the train operator for good reasons.

"So, visible alcohol can be confiscated and anyone excessively under the influence of alcohol could be refused travel by train and again miss the game."

Police also said they expect trains in Glasgow to be "extremely busy" on Thursday as One Direction are also performing at the Hydro.
