Public transport Edinburgh - Glasgow International at night?

Hi,

in June I've got to travel on a weekday from Edinburgh to Glasgow 
International Airport such that I arrive at around 4:30AM. My current 
plan is to take the Citylink bus at 23:59 from Edinburgh to Glasgow, get 
a taxi from Glasgow city centre to the airport and then simply wait 
there for a couple of hours, which is quite annoying. I wonder if 
someone has a better idea? Is there really no train or bus service 
running during the night, or am I just too stupid to find it?

Thanks for your help!
Jennifer

Try asking in ed.general or alt.uk.edinburgh.misc if you don't get
much of a response here.

There are a couple of cheap chain hotels at Glasgow Airport
(IIRC Travel Lodge and Travel Inn). Why not get to the Airport
the day before and stay overnight?
