Celtic vs Rangers ‘new’ kick-off time, referee and VAR team confirmed ahead of derby
The spotlight is always on the referee when Rangers take on Celtic in an Old Firm derby.
These days it’s not just the man in the middle either, with VAR teams playing arguably an even bigger role in games now.
It has given rise to more debate, criticism and conspiracy within Scottish football with everything relating to the officials magnified.
Rangers have already been very hard done by in derbies this season with Vaclav Cerny denied a penalty in the Premier Sports Cup final, which the other side went on to win on penalties.
Steven McLean appointed Celtic vs Rangers referee
Steven McLean will take charge of this Sunday’s derby and will be assisted by Graham Stewart and Dougie Potter.
John Beaton is in charge of VAR and will be helped out in the studio by Sean Carr.
