As Celtic and Rangers square off in the Scottish Premiership, officials and VAR have been verified.

This weekend, Celtic travel to Parkhead to play Rangers, and a victory there would virtually guarantee Celtic the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic has found themselves eight points ahead and five points behind in a race that has swung back and forth between the two sides of the Glasgow divide; however, their focus will now be firmly on the prize at stake.

Before the game, Brendan Rodgers made a controversial statement saying that his players will “have a bit of fun” against Rangers.

After his team defeated Kilmarnock, rival manager Philippe Clement took offense.

In any case, the build-up to the match involving both managers is typical, and Rodgers won’t be worrying about a casual remark that caused an odd response.

Following his impressive display against Heart of Midlothian, Callum McGregor is expected to start on the squad.

However, Daizen Maeda’s inclusion in the starting lineup on either flank remains to be determined.

The anticipation for a pivotal moment in Aaron Rodgers’ second stint at Parkhead against the Rangers is growing, and we now know who will serve as the match official on Saturday afternoon.

In Scottish football, VAR is a constant source of news, and Steven McLean is tasked with examining any on-the-day incidents that might require additional evaluation.

In addition, Graeme Stewart is available to offer an additional set of eyes.

Don Robertson, who is on his fourth official assignment in Glasgow’s east end, rounds out the group as the two teams get ready for a match that could have a significant impact on where the Scottish Premiership trophy ends up.

This season has certainly been unpredictable, putting the Hoops in some tight spots at times, but they have bounced back well to take a three-point advantage over their city rivals and a better goal differential.

Celtic is aware that a win would essentially guarantee a third straight league title, but football isn’t a linear sport. It is now Rodgers’ and his team’s responsibility to see themselves through the opposition. Hurry up, hoops!
