The quickest option looks like taking a train to london (liverpool st), then underground to london euston station, and from there to glasgow central station. Here's the details:

You can get the exact details and links to buy tickets if you put in your journey dates and times.

The cheaper route, which takes about the same time, is Ipswich to Peterborough, to Edinburgh, to Glasgow. The "open" fare is about 80% of the fare via London.
