Default How to while away 24 hours in Glasgow?

One for our Scottish Clan I think......
Travel plans next spring mean that we (SWMBO and I) will probably arrive at Glasgow Airport on a Monday afternoon (with a fair bit of luggage) and stay overnight at one of the easily accessed airport hotels.
The next day we will have until about 3pm to while away until we have to connect with our ongoing surface travel arrangements, in the airport concourse. We will be eating very well that Tuesday evening so a posh lunch would be a waste.

What would people recommend to pass the time (evening and morning); we obviously don't want to lug our cases around with us?
Happy to use fast, reliable public transport to travel somewhere nearby and interesting for food, culture etc.
