Derek Adams’ side face travel hell as they bid to brave through Storm Gerrit to make it to Ibrox on time.
Doubt has been cast over Rangers’ clash with Ross County tonight as the Staggies are currently travelling through torrid winter conditions this afternoon.
The Highland side have NOT stayed overnight in Glasgow, meaning they are en route to Ibrox on the day of their meeting with Philippe Clement’s side. That will see them have to fight through “heavy snow” according to NW Trunk Roads – who work on behalf of Transport Scotland – with six gritters in situ up and down the wintery A9 roads right now.
Traffic is at a “standstill” too with the A9 closed at Drumochter. Resources are stretched to the limit as workers try to clear snow in a bid to get vehicles through. But with kick-off at 7:45pm tonight, there will be anxious glances at watches throughout the day as Derek Adams’ men try to make the game with Rangers. NW say they “are advising to avoid the route as much as possible and delay travel”. Currently, Google Maps has the journey time at 4hrs 45 minutes.
But that isn’t accounting for additional delays – which are likely – and rush hour traffic which the bus is primed to hit. There are yellow wind, rain and snow warnings in certain areas of the country.
