DAVID DICKINSON has been confirmed as the referee for Sunday‘s fixture between Celtic and St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.
The referee will be assisted by Calum Spence and Ross Macleod, with David Munro as the fourth official, while Greg Aitken will be the VAR and David Dunne the assistant VAR official.
Dickinson is yet to officiate a St Johnstone fixture this season, however, he has been the man in the middle for two Celtic matches this season. The first of them was a 5–0 win against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, and the second was a controversial game at Celtic Park in early November against Dundee United.
That match had its issues, with the referee awarding the visitors a penalty after looking at the monitor, then proceeding to book Alexandro Bernabei, who was deemed to have handled the ball, despite being in mid-air and his hands behind his back.
