Brendan Rodgers is having issues with referee Willie Collum, according to Frank McAvennie, ahead of this weekend’s Celtic vs Rangers encounter.

The former striker has made some surprise claims ahead of the crucial Premiership championship game.

Celtic’s victory would leave them six points ahead of Rangers with two games left,

but Rangers would need to win by three goals or more to grab the lead.

Collum’s performance as a VAR official in the last derby at Parkhead,

in a penalty claim incident involving Abdallah Sima and Alistair Johnston, sparked controversy.

The Rangers then demanded that he be removed from officiating their matches.

“I’m hoping we can chat about football on Monday. I hope VAR has nothing to do with this.

Willie Collum enjoys making a show of himself because it makes for good headlines. I hope he makes headlines for all the good reasons.

“He’s a good referee. He makes plenty of mistakes. I understand he isn’t doing it on purpose,

but he has made a lot of blunders. I just hope he’s a decent ref and performs his job correctly, and that the people on VAR assist him out.

“I hope the referees simply perform their jobs, do them well, and rely on what they’re taught.

They’re depending too heavily on VAR. If there’s something they overlooked, VAR will tell them. It’s a huge game, the world is watching.“
