Andrew Dallas is the man selected to officiate the game and in the wake of the unrest within Scottish football between referees and clubs, you can be sure the whistlers every move will be analysed on the day.

John Beaton, Andrew Dallas and others attended an official SFA meeting after threatening to strike as a result of clubs asking serious questions about their officiating.

Instead of open dialogue the SFA have hidden behind their rule book and given lip service to the word transparency while not showing any signs of practicing common sense.

Celtic asked why a Gers player who had lashed out at Celtic players on three separate occasions was not only allowed to go unpunished on the day but go unpunished in general after the compliance officer had seen the incidents.

This prompted bizarre statements and flapping from Beaton and some in the media about refs being mistreated. Diverting people’s attention away from the incident itself. Funny that.
