    I was going to say walk but you will find a train:-

    Either walk to Central or the easier will be a train to Partick then one back to SECC.

    Jump in a taxi outside the station exit to the right or left when you get off the train. They aren't expensive in Glasgow, I would think that between the 2 of you there will be very little difference in price over a bus.

    There is a bus service on 'big events' with First to Buchanan Street / George Square, something like 707.

    If your friend has walking difficulties then taxi is by far the best option. It will drop you as close as possible to the SECC.
