Celtic vs Hibs weather warning as Storm Darragh to hit Glasgow

The Met Office have issued a yellow weather warning for rain ahead of the match between Celtic and Hibernian.

Forecasts are predicting heavy rainfall overnight and into Saturday morning as Storm Darragh hits the UK.

Celtic host Hibs in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday with the match being played at Parkhead.

Glasgow is within the yellow weather warning zone with much of Scotland to be impacted by the downpour overnight.

The Met Office have warned of travel disruption as a result of the adverse weather conditions with 20-30mm of rainfall expected.

That increases to 50-60mm of rainfall on higher ground throughout large chunks of Scotland.

Rain is forecast to stop at 12pm ahead of the 3pm kick-off in Glasgow.

As it stands there have been no concerns raised over the match. However, fans should note potential impact to public travel due to the conditions.
