This Saturday, Celtic is set to face Aberdeen at Pittodrie in a lunchtime kickoff. The match will be overseen by referee Steven McLean, with assistance from linesmen Graeme Stewart and Sean Carr. Alastair Grieve will serve as the fourth official. The VAR team for this game will be led by Steven Kirkland, supported by assistant David Roome.
Next Wednesday, Celtic will travel to Edinburgh to play Hibernian at Easter Road. Nick Walsh has been appointed as the referee for this encounter. He will be assisted by Dougie Potter and Ross Macleod on the sidelines, while Euan Anderson will take up the role of the fourth official. VAR duties for this match will be handled by Andrew Dallas, with Andrew McWilliam assisting him.
Both matches are going to be extremely tough, and it will be a massive six points for Celtic if they can pull it off.
After the trip to the capital, Celtic will prepare for the visit to Paisley, with St Mirren lying in wait in the cup on Sunday 11th February.
