Exclusive: The next steps to be taken amid Rangers vs St Johnstone weather fears
What was initially a yellow warning by the UK's national meteorological service has now been updated to amber.
The amber alert, which brings a potential risk of life and serve travel disruption with it, kicks in at 9pm on Saturday evening.
However, that could always change and even that alert will be too close to comfort for Gers officials.
As things stand, the game will kick off at 3pm on Saturday with the yellow alert in place, which itself brings concerns over the safety of those attending Ibrox.
Amid the increased severity of Storm Boelo for Rangers' clash with St Mirren, former FIFA referee Keith Hackett has outlined the likely next steps to be taken.
All eyes on referee Chris Graham
It is extremely rare for a match at a top level to be postponed through a yellow warning.
The 'good news', if you can call it that, is the warning - both yellow and amber - relates to strong winds, rather than heavy rain.
That reduces the risk of the pitch being waterlogged, but with winds predicted to reach 80mph, the conditions have to be taken into account.
Chris Graham will oversee Rangers' match with St Johnstone - his first Gers game in two years - and he will ultimately have the final say.
Speaking exclusively to Ibrox News, former PGMOL chief Hackett explained the referee "will liaise with police and the media so that if the game is unable to go ahead spectators will be informed".
Hackett added: "The referee will likely be in Glasgow overnight so that early decisions can be made. Strong winds are a potential problem."
What Rangers will be eager to avoid if St Johnstone game is postponed
It must be stressed that, as of Friday evening, nothing has been said with regards to the game not going ahead as planned.
Both teams will be eager to get the game on, especially if the warning remains at yellow around the time of the game taking place.
But Hackett pointed out that, should the worst happen and the referee does decide it is not safe to proceed, an announcement must be made as early as possible.
"The club will not want food waste and will have to advise all catering staff, security staff and those attending the game," he said.
"A lot of people are involved in matches. The police will be aware of all the travel arrangements of teams and spectators.
"This is where the referee earns his money. Everyone will want to avoid a late call off with spectators in the vicinity of the ground."
Let's just hope it does not come to that and the game goes ahead as planned - but only if the safety of all those involved is put first.
