Not at this stage. All are reporting limited accommodation and only the rip-off pricing remained. If it makes you feel any better, the price hikes (similar to the Olympics) have been inflated by 50%~100%.
The rest of us are leaving on holiday to let them get on with it.....0 -

You should have asked this six to eight months ago - even then, your chances would have been slim!0

May be better to go for last minute rooms, when the high-priced unsold rooms just need shifting ASAP. Night of the Olympic Opening ceremony I got a 4* in central London for £75 booking the day before - but it was still listed as £200-odd on some sites. Trivago is handy as all the online booking sites don't have the same deals.0

You could always aim to stay a little out of the city centre (or even the city itself). Glasgow has great transport links.0

How far out of the city would be acceptable?
There's two train routes run between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and many of the intermediate stops could get you into the city centre in less than half an hour. Linlithgow, Polmont, Falkirk could all get you there in broadly that time. You could stay in Edinburgh and commute in less than an hour.
There's other routes that head to the north and south to/from Glasgow, you could investigate these on the Scotrail website.0
