speaking as someone who stays in Glasgow I wouldnt drink in the Paisley Road West area which is near Ibrox, done these pubs as part of the subcrawl and I know they may be different on match days but they have been dodgy when Ive been in them !! anywho if some of you lot are up for a few days or ever in Glasgow for a weekend give the subcrawl a bash !!!! (
www.subcrawl.bravehost.com)
Its also illegal to drink on the streets up here and you get a fine if caught, the police are very strict with it !!!
Ashton Lane would be a great place to go its a nice part of the city and has a good reputation as well, had many a good night out there and who knows if Noel G's up for the game you will probably see him in Jinty McJintys in the lane !! Byers Road is also just round the corner which has a lot of decent pubs as well such as Curlers and Tennents Bar and there are loads of food places as well, theres also a Hilton across from Oran Mor if anyone wants to stay in this part but its easy enough to get to on the subway from the centre.

like Manchester all the big chains are pretty central there are a few Travel Lodges and Travel Inns dotted about and Ibis, Hilton, Marriot etc in the centre, the nearest to Central Station is the Radisson and the Jurys Inn and at the closest to the bus station is the Thistle Hotel but to be honest most are 15-20 minutes walk top from the centre !
