Collection for Heart of Scotstoun

For the first time this season we are taking donations for the Heart of Scotstoun community centre. You can drop off non-perishable items such as toiletries, tinned food and noodles. The SP Energy Networks Community Van and Scotstoun Squad will be parked next to the main reception at the east side of the stadium to collect your items.

Our official Community Partner SP Energy Networks will also be collecting during the week and we will deliver our donations to the local centre together.

THE FAN ZONE & CLUBHOUSE

The Clubhouse and Fan Zone are both open at this match, providing indoor and outdoor bar options to meet up with friends and family.

The Clubhouse is in the main Leisure Centre building and can be accessed from the car park behind the east stand. Please bear in mind the Clubhouse is outside the stadium boundaries, therefore if you have had your ticket scanned please head to the Clubhouse via the north east gate where you can be scanned back out, and in again. Drinks cannot be carried between the stadium and the Clubhouse and vice versa.

RETAIL

The Macron Store will be fully stocked selling our new 2024/25 kits and training range.

Our mascot Clyde will be out and about around Scotstoun, along with non-playing members of our squad. Don’t be shy to ask for a picture if you see them.

FOOD AND DRINK

We continue to work with the best independent local street food traders, and we are excited to share the new season’s refreshed food and drink offer.

As ever, we strive to ensure the range of food and drink offers something for everyone. Vendors have been chosen for the quality of their food, and prices and portions sizes are monitored to ensure they offer value for money. Some traders are offering Childrens portions at reduced prices, and all dietary requirements are catered for, including halal, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.

Making their debut this season will be Pizza Pitch, SMSH BRGR, and Greek Gyros, from the team behind Salt and Chilli Chicken who will also return. Streat Scullery are back with their new burger menu, and hot drinks are covered by Hector & Harriet and Dippin’ Donuts.

All our food and drinks at these vendors are freshly made and prepared to order so please leave plenty of time to order and collect your food before heading to your seat.

Update on drinks decanting: We are obliged to follow Glasgow City Council licensing regulations delivered at all Glasgow sports events. Meaning all drinks served at our kiosks and food vans are decanted into cups.

During the off-season we asked Glasgow Life to request a dispensation for Scotstoun Stadium, to relax this rule and allow customers to keep soft drinks bottles. This request was then made to Glasgow City Council and its dedicated Safety Advisory Group (SAG). Ultimately, the request is to help reduce single-use plastic waste and to allow customers, notably those with additional support needs, to keep sealed plastic water and soft drinks bottles to make it easier to carry purchased drinks around the stadium. We had the support of the safety team from Glasgow Life at the Stadium but the request was declined by the SAG.

We must be clear that this is not a decision taken by the individual, independent food and drinks suppliers serving our customers on match day, therefore, we asks that these suppliers are shown respect in regard to this issue.

We will continue to work with Glasgow Life and the Council to try to find a suitable, more favourable solution in future.
