Coach Hire For Football Clubs, Supporters & Major Events

Sports Coach Hire Glasgow

Our Transport Services

When you are moving a team, a supporters group or 50 or more people across Glasgow, getting everyone there is only part of the job.

You also need to think about where the coach can stop, how passengers will get to the venue, what happens when thousands of people leave at the same time and whether the original collection point will still be accessible after the final whistle or encore. That is where experienced event coach hire makes a difference.

At Loch Lomond Travel Group, we provide sports coach hire in Glasgow for football clubs, sports teams, supporters groups, schools, organisations and event organisers. Our modern coaches provide comfortable group travel, with a professional driver taking care of the journey from your collection point to the venue and back again.

Whether you are travelling to Hampden Park, Ibrox, Celtic Park, Scotstoun, the OVO Hydro or Glasgow International Arena, we can help you plan the transport around your event. Tell us where you are going, how many people are travelling and when you need to be there. We will take care of the coach travel.

Who Uses Sports Coach Hire?

Football clubs and sports teams

Moving a squad is very different from moving a group of tourists. You need everyone to arrive together, on time and with enough room for the equipment they need for the day.

  • Football clubs and academy teams
  • Rugby teams
  • Sports clubs and societies
  • Youth teams
  • Coaches and support staff
  • Players travelling with kit and equipment
  • Teams travelling to Glasgow for fixtures and tournaments
  • Groups travelling onwards to other Scottish venues

Our coaches have luggage space and comfortable seating, while our professional drivers handle the road so the team can concentrate on the fixture ahead.

We have also had customers use Loch Lomond Travel Group for football club trips, with feedback highlighting the cleanliness and comfort of the coach, professional driving and reliable timings.

Supporters groups and event organisers

A supporters coach is about more than simply finding enough seats. When 50 or more people are travelling together, keeping everyone on the same schedule makes the day considerably easier.

  • Football supporters groups
  • Rugby supporters
  • Concert groups
  • Corporate events
  • Community organisations
  • Clubs and societies
  • School and university groups
  • Large private groups
  • Event organisers arranging group transport

You can arrange a collection point that works for your passengers, travel together to the event and have your driver ready for the return journey.

The same approach works for concerts and major events. Loch Lomond Travel Group has already provided group transport for customers travelling to a concert at Murrayfield, with the customer specifically praising the clean coach, friendly driver, air conditioning and charging facilities.

Hampden Park

Travelling to an international fixture, cup final or major event? Hampden operates event-day traffic and parking restrictions, with road closures for major events and car parks staying closed while spectators leave safely. The collection point you use on an ordinary day may not be right after a major fixture — we plan around the arrangements expected on the day.

Ibrox

Ibrox can become extremely busy around major Rangers fixtures, making coach access and collection planning particularly important. Designated areas for supporters’ coaches are published (including around Helen Street, Govan Road, Woodville Street and Carmichael Street) and can change by fixture, so we plan the journey around the expected event-day restrictions.

Celtic Park

Another major Glasgow destination for supporters and visiting clubs. Supporters’ coach arrangements can include designated parking away from the immediate stadium entrance — published information has directed coaches and minibuses to Springfield Road. Arrangements vary by match, so we confirm current access before travelling.

Scotstoun

An important destination for rugby and athletics, part of the wider Scotstoun Sports Campus on Danes Drive. Its West End location means event traffic and local parking need to be considered — and for larger groups, a coach removes the need for dozens of individual cars around the venue.

OVO Hydro

One of Glasgow’s busiest concert and event venues. It has a designated, manned drop-off and pick-up zone to the west of the SEC Centre, accessed via Stobcross Road. Your coach may need to use a specific access or collection arrangement rather than pulling up outside the venue, so planning matters.

Glasgow International Arena

The Emirates Arena welcomes major sporting events and large groups year-round. The key is knowing how and when a large coach can safely get passengers close to the venue, and where it can wait or return for collection — we discuss your timings and group size when arranging the hire.

What happens after a big Glasgow fixture or concert?

This is one of the most important things to consider when booking event coach hire. The roads around a stadium can look completely different immediately after a match or concert.

Police and event stewards may control traffic and pedestrian movement. Roads can be temporarily restricted, coaches may be directed away from their original location and passengers may need to walk to a revised collection point.

That is why we recommend agreeing a clear meeting point with your group before the event. Your driver can then work around the access arrangements on the day, rather than relying on the original sat nav destination. The best coach hire plan is one that considers the journey home before the event has even started.
