Clyde have issued a ‘business as normal’ tweet at 9am ahead of their Scottish Cup tie with Celtic.
The west of Scotland is bearing the brunt of Storm Ciara this morning with winds close to 80mph but there is no suggestion that the match could be in doubt.
Clyde have been aware of the weather forecast since the middle of last week with Broadwood providing stands on three sides of the pitch.
MATCHDAY ? | We take on Celtic at Broadwood today in the Fifth Round of the William Hill Scottish Cup. ???
Kick-off is at 2.01pm and the match is a sell-out, so please only come to the stadium if you have a ticket.
The tie is also being shown live on @PremierSportsTV. ? pic.twitter.com/UzcJJKFKo9— Clyde FC (@ClydeFC) February 9, 2020

Amber and yellow weather warnings are in place across Scotland with the BBC weather forecasting winds of 60mph at kick-off time, 2pm.
All four of yesterday’s Scottish Cup ties were completed despite wild weather from Aberdeen to Ayr, during the Falkirk v Hearts match the BBC Scotland cameras struggled to retain a clear view of the pitch.
A postponement would result in the match being rescheduled for Wednesday resulting in Celtic’s home match against Hearts having to be re-scheduled.
UPDATE from Clyde at 10am
