Don Robertson has been appointed as the referee for tomorrow night’s Scottish Premiership encounter between Dundee and Celtic at Dens Park…
Don Robertson had whistle at recent Glasgow Derby
The 38 year-old whistler will take charge of his fifth Celtic game this season with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to extend their significant gap over theRangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership league table to 18 points.
Robertson was previously the man in the middle for Celtic’s lamentable 3-0 defeat at Ibrox at the beginning of the month. In a fairly controversy free match onfield, the experienced referee handled the occasion well without any drama.
Robertson refereed Aberdeen v Celtic in December
The FIFA appointed official was also in charge of Celtic’s 1-0 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie in December, the Hoops’ 6-0 victory against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park in late September and the table toppers opening day 4-0 comfortable outing versus Kilmarnock at Paradise.
Dundee had a match free weekend
Meanwhile, Dundee had a rare free weekend. Tony Docherty’s side last played on Wednesday in their well-deserved 1-1 draw with theRangers in the City of Discovery which seemed to put the Ibrox club at tipping point with their manager Philippe Clement under severe scrutiny.
The Dark Blues sit 8th in a tightly congested table and are only two points above Hearts who are positioned in the relegation play-off spot.
On the other hand, Docherty’s men are three points off Hibs who have leaped into the top six after a remarkable turnaround of form in recent months.
Andrew Dallas on VAR
Joining Don Robertson onfield is Assistant Referee 1 Gordon Crawford and Assistant Referee 2 Alastair Mather.
At Clydesdale House manning VAR duties is Andrew Dallas with Andrew McWilliams taking the role as Assistant VAR.
Kick-off is 8:00pm and will be shown live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event. For supporters outside Britain and Ireland, Celtic TV are covering the game.
