That would put a dampener on proceedings at Ibrox, where Philippe Clement's men are desperate to get a badly-need three points on the board as they play catch up on Celtic.

They're still reeling from losing the Premier Sports Cup final to Celtic on penalties, after being wrongly denied a penalty deep into extra time for a tug by Liam Scales on Vaclav Cerny.

The Ibrox side's supporter liaison officer passed on the warning to fans, asking them to plan their journey carefully and 'dress appropriately'.

He wrote: "Weather Warning: Please note that there is a weather warning in place for today’s game, with strong wind and heavy rain expected.

"We advise all supporters to plan their journey carefully and dress appropriately for the conditions.

"Stay safe and enjoy the match!"

The Ibrox side comed Willie Collum's admission that the officials got it wrong in not awarding them a penalty in Sunday's League Cup final defeat to Celtic.

But the Ibrox club have hit out at the error, insisting it's "damaging" to Scottish football's credibility.

A Rangers spokesperson: “Rangers FC notes the Scottish FA’s admission of an officiating failure following the non-award of a penalty to Rangers in Sunday’s Premier Sports Cup final and welcomes the transparency from the Scottish FA.

“However, for such a failure to occur during one of Scotland’s showcase matches is not only hugely disappointing for the club and its supporters, but also damaging for the credibility of Scottish football more widely.

“We acknowledge the Scottish FA’s determination to use this and other decision-making failures as opportunities to drive improvements in officiating standards.

“As a club, we will continue to engage with the Scottish FA in an attempt to improve officiating standards for the benefit of all clubs in Scotland.”
