Rangers supporters are being cautioned about the effects of Storm Ashley as they travel to Rugby Park for the Scottish Premiership match against Kilmarnock.
Due to strong winds and rain, the entire country of Scotland is under an amber yellow warning. The Met Office says the storm is “likely” to cause injuries and endanger life.
The worst of any damage is anticipated to occur further north in Scotland as Storm Ashley continues to lash the country’s west coast.
However, bad weather is still expected to have an impact on Rangers vs. Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership, which is scheduled to start at 12 p.m.
How will Storm Ashley impact Kilmarnock v Rangers?
Rangers supporters should be mindful of the current nationwide amber weather warning as they travel to Rugby Park to watch their team play Kilmarnock.
The nation is expected to see gusts of up to 80 mph, and residents of coastal regions may be at risk of death due to high tides and waves.
Since some 4500 Rangers supporters are anticipated to make the quick journey to Ayrshire, road users in Scotland have been urged to refrain from making needless trips.
Additionally, fans are cautioned that there will probably be problems to public transport, including bus, train, and ferry services.
Flooding is another possibility, and as Scotland braces for the season’s first storm, the storm may negatively affect electricity supplies across.
Although this could alter at any time, from a football perspective, the game on Kilmarnock’s artificial Rugby Park field is not currently thought to be in danger.
Rangers must weather storm at Rugby Park
Last season, Rangers manager Philippe Clement made the legendary statement that if that was what was expected of them, his squad would “play in the car park.”
These statements ultimately backfired when Rangers’ title challenge was ultimately defeated at Dens Park because they were unable to handle delays to Dundee’s shaky pitch.
We’ll see if the Belgian team has figured it out.
With Aberdeen rallying from a two-goal deficit to hold Celtic in Glasgow on Saturday, Rangers could emerge victorious from a chaotic stretch of weather.
Rangers would be within one win of both the Dons and our Old Firm opponents if the Gers won, reducing the margin at the top of the Scottish Premiership to three points.
Although the unpredictable weather isn’t expected to depress Rangers fans, we do anticipate that it will affect the calibre of the match.
What could go wrong with Storm Ashley, Rangers having a chance to close the gap, and Kilmarnock’s dubious pitch at 12 p.m. on a Sunday after two weeks off?
