ScotRail is being urged to put on more trains to ensure cuts to services don't prevent Scotland fans from attending the World Cup play-off with Ukraine.
Around 700 services are set to be cut from Monday over a pay and working dispute between ScotRail and the Aslef union which represents train drivers.
Scotland's crunch tie with Ukraine will kick off at 7.45pm on Wednesday at Hampden, however the last trains between Glasgow and Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen leave before the match starts.
The last service between Glasgow and Edinburgh is due to leave at 10.15pm, just 45 minutes after the game is due to finish.
There are now fears many fans could miss the match due to the cuts to services.
ScotRail was nationalised by the Scottish Government earlier this year and now there are calls for Transport Secretary Jenny Gilruth to step in to resolve the dispute.
Liam Kerr, the Tories transport spokesman, said: "The play-off with Ukraine is Scotland’s most important World Cup clash since we last reached the tournament itself in 1998, so the SNP Government and ScotRail must ensure the tens of thousands of fans attending can get home that night.
"We know that much of the Tartan Army hail from our northern cities, so they need to be catered for appropriately.
"It’s completely unacceptable that the last trains to Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth leave before the match has even kicked off.
"Many of these supporters will have work the following morning, even assuming they can afford the expense of an overnight hotel stay in Glasgow.
"ScotRail simply must lay on additional, later services that night. But this match just highlights how absurd the new scaled-back timetable is.
"It’s imperative that Jenny Gilruth and her colleagues thrash out a resolution with the unions to ensure normal service on Scotland’s railways is resumed as soon as possible.
"Just seven weeks in, and the SNP’s nationalisation of ScotRail is proving disastrous for passengers, who are currently facing a summer of misery on Scotland’s trains."
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Head of Customer Operations, said: “We’ll be issuing travel advice for the upcoming Scotland internationals in the lead up to the games.”
