Rangers hit by Storm Éowyn as part of Ibrox roof flies off

Storm Éowyn has hit Ibrox, and debris have been seen flying from the roof of the Rangers' stadium.

Video footage widely shared online has captured the moment that parts of the roof of the main stand went flying due to gale-force winds.

A red weather warning is in place until 5pm. The Met Office issued the warning from 10am earlier on Friday, January 24.

Peak winds reached up to 100mph, and much of Scotland was told to stay at home with a danger to life from falling and flying debris causing a major risk on the streets and roads.

The clip shows Ibrox Stadium becoming the latest victim of the extreme weather, with strips being blown off the roof.

They're the latest SPFL club to suffer damage to their ground, with Championship club Morton suffering at the hands of the storm too.
