Celtic's Scottish Premiership match against Dundee on Saturday is in doubt because of storm damage at the stadium.

The club said its stadium and safety staff are currently unable to fully assess the extent of the damage "due to the ongoing extreme conditions".

A spokesperson said: "In light of this and in order that we communicate fully and openly with our fans, in the interests of supporter safety, we are unable to confirm at this stage whether the match tomorrow between Celtic and Dundee (Jan 25) will be able to proceed."

They added a full assessment and decision will be made "as early as possible" in the morning ahead of the match, which was scheduled to kick-off at 15:00.

Meanwhile, Arbroath have announced their Scottish League 1 fixture vs Kelty Hearts tomorrow has been postponed due to the main stand at their Gayfield ground suffering "considerable damage" during the storm.

It's the first Saturday fixture in the Scottish leagues to be called off, with the club saying going ahead with the game would have been a risk to players and fans alike.

It follows a number of sporting events for today being cancelled, including Celtic v Hearts in the SWPL and rugby and basketball fixtures.

Here's our latest update on the havoc being wreaked by Storm Éowyn across Scotland today:

• 100,000 homes in Scotland are without power and buildings have been damaged across the country

• Two drivers have been injured after crashes in Mauchline in East Ayrshire and on Glasgow's Balmore Road
• Almost all schools have been closed and many transport services suspended with very high winds recorded, including one gust of nearly 102mph on the Tay Bridge
• All ScotRail services have been cancelled today and will not resume until midday on Saturday at the earliest
• A large portion of the central belt and south west is covered by a red "danger to life" warning for wind from 10:00 until 17:00 - which has been extended to include much of Dumfries and Galloway
• Forecasters have warned the storm could be the most destructive to hit Scotland's central belt in 13 years
• A new amber weather warning is in place covering the Scottish Highlands until 06:00 on Saturday

• An amber warning for wind south of Mull in the west to Montrose in the east is in force until 21:00, and an amber wind warning for northern Scotland is in force from 13:00 on Friday until 06:00 on Saturday.

As we reported earlier, John Swinney is urging the public to continue to follow safety advice in the coming days.

He is also calling on lorry drivers to stay off the roads while the red weather warning remains in place.

The first minister says: “Storm Éowyn is an exceptional weather event and is causing significant impacts across Scotland, with multiple reports of fallen trees and blown over vehicles.

"What the Met Office predicted has come our way, with gusts of 100mph winds reported.

"This storm is not over yet. Even once the red weather warning expires, severe weather warnings for wind, snow and ice remain in place across much of the country tonight and into tomorrow morning.

"A high level of vigilance is still required. There are still too many lorries on the road and I urge all HGVs to follow Police Scotland advice not to travel during the red weather warning."

The Tay Road Bridge has recorded a gust of 102.2mph, according to the bridge's X account.

It says that winds are currently in the high 90s. The bridge is currently closed to all traffic and pedestrians.

In its latest update, the Scottish government says 100,000 homes are still without power across Scotland.

It follows a meeting of the Scottish Government’s Resilience Room (SGoRR), which is co-ordinating the response to the damage and disruption caused by Storm Éowyn in Scotland.

SGoRR was updated on the current impacts, including:

• Currently around 100,000 households without power
• Severe transport disruption with rail, bus, flight, ferry and tram cancellations as well as road closures across the network
• 92% of the school estate in Scotland is closed
• Cancellation of non-urgent medical appointments

First Minister John Swinney is asking people to continue to follow Police Scotland advice not to travel during the red weather warning and to be mindful that dangerous conditions will persist for the rest of the evening while the amber warning remains in place.

Police Scotland say a 49-year-old man has died in Irvine, North Ayrshire, after being found unresponsive in a street.

A force spokesperson said: "Around 10:10 on Friday, we were called to a report of an unresponsive man in East Road, Irvine.

"Emergency services attended and a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His family is aware."

UPDATE: Police later confirmed that they were treating the death as medical-related.

Transport Scotland's website, external is saying the M9 is closed both ways between J8 and 9 due to multiple fallen trees.

Police Scotland are advising people to avoid travel in the areas affected by the red warning and to expect a high risk of disruption in the areas affected by the wider amber warning for wind.

Police Scotland has said it is concerned about the amount of HGVs still travelling on Scotland's roads during Storm Eowyn.

The force has had to respond to 11 cases of an HGV being overturned due to the high winds today.

Assistant Chief Constable Mark Sutherland, who is leading the multi-agency response to Storm Eowyn, reiterated the advice to drivers not to travel during either the red or amber warnings.

Police Scotland has confirmed that two drivers have been injured during Storm Eowyn.

One driver was seriously injured after a single-vehicle collision on Ayr Road in the East Ayrshire town of Mauchline at about 07:10.

Another driver was injured when a tree fell on their van in Glasgow's Balmore Road just after 09:00, the force said.

A spokesperson said inquiries into both incidents were "at an early stage".

The A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful has been fully closed from the Viewpoint Car Park (junction between the A83 and B828) to Ardgartan due to the high wind speeds.

Traffic Scotland say the situation will be monitored throughout the rest of the day and a decision about returning traffic to the A83 will be made as soon conditions allow.

Police Scotland are advising the public to avoid travel in, or to, the areas affected by the Met Office’s red weather warning.

Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland A83 Rest and Be Thankful, external and X @trafficscotland.

More on the trains now, with ScotRail confirming that Saturday services will be "heavily impacted" by today's weather.

The rail operator has said on social media that services won't be operating until noon on Saturday at the earliest, with overhead lines having suffered "extensive damage" today.

Part of the problem is that Network Rail staff need to get out on the lines to inspect the damage - and they can't begin that process until the weather settles down.

The longer the storm goes on, the more likely it is that rail services won't restart until later on Saturday.

The Met Office has issued several weather warnings over Storm Éowyn for most of today - here's a look at which areas are affected:

• A red wind warning is in place until 17:00 in Central Scotland, Tayside and Fife, south-west Scotland and the Lothian Borders and Strathclyde

• An amber wind warning is in force across large parts of Scotland until 06:00 on Saturday
• A separate amber wind warning covers parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern England and it is in place until 21:00
• A yellow snow warning is in place until midnight and covers large parts of Scotland, including central Scotland and the Highlands
• A yellow warning for snow and ice is in place across all six counties in Northern Ireland
• Lastly, a yellow wind warning is in place for the Midlands, northern England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales until midnight

Separate amber and yellow warnings for wind, ice and snow will come into force this weekend.

Police in Edinburgh are reminding locals not to go outside, even if there is damage to their homes or in their street.

In a post on X, the force said it had attended several reports of fallen trees and damage to buildings, only to be met with "lots of residents examining damage".

It added that people should remain indoors, to avoid being "at risk from further falling debris".

A treasured giant sycamore in Glasgow has collapsed in the force of fierce Storm Éowyn winds.

The Darnley Sycamore sits at the corner of Nitshill Road and Kennishead Road in the south of the city.

A plaque at the site records that, according to legend, Lord Darnley and Mary Queen of Scots sat under this great sycamore tree when she nursed him back to health after an illness as they stayed nearby at Crookston Castle.

As we've been reporting since this morning, all rail travel has been cancelled across Scotland today.

But the impact of the extremely high winds means there has been significant damage to the railway infrastructure which could have longer-term implications.

The full extent of the damage will not be known until after the storm passes and until Network Rail workers can get onto the network to carry out a fully assessment

They will be working through the night to remove fallen trees and other debris from the tracks.

There has also been extensive damage to overhead lines which will need to be repaired before trains can safely return to service

This means that ScotRail services will be heavily impacted on Saturday and customers should not expect any trains to operate before 12:00 at the earliest.

ScotRail says the safety of its staff and customers is the absolute priority, and trains will only run when it is safe to do so.

Updates can be found at the ScotRail website , externaland app.

Scotland has been battered by wind gusts reaching 101mph as Storm Éowyn sweeps across the country.

A large portion of the central belt and south west is covered by a red "danger to life" warning for wind from 10:00 until 17:00 - which has been extended to include much of Dumfries and Galloway.

Thousands of homes have been left without power and the country's transport network has ground to a halt.

Police in Dumfries and Galloway are renewing their advice not to travel in the region with a red warning for high winds in place until 17:00.

The main route across the region - the A75 - is still closed along its entire length due to a number of incidents.

Police are highlighting that even routes without a Road Closed sign could still have trees down or be blocked by debris.

They say people should drive "carefully and cautiously" if they absolutely had to but said their advice remained not to travel.
