Probably got your hotel sorted Wakey. If not, I often stop at The Avonbridge in Hamilton on business trips, just off J6 M74 (keep turning left, even when you think you are going into a bus lane, you aren't). Short walk to Hamilton station for a train into Glasgow(or change somewhere like Newton for a trai to Kings Park or Mount Florida. A few decent little pubs up the town and a decent curry house or two. Good grub at the hotel, beer is drinkable if cold and fizzyish. Very popular restaurant with the locals too. Not too expensive all around usually.
