Willie Collum named as referee for Rangers v Celtic match

The Scottish FA have announced that Willie Collum will take charge of this weekend’s Rangers v Celtic fixture at Ibrox.

The match official will be in the middle for his first Old Firm derby of the season, which is expected to be fiercely contested with both sides battling it out for the Premiership title.

Collum will have Graeme Stewart and David Roome as his assistants on the line, with Nick Walsh acting as fourth official.

The Glasgow sides have met twice in the league this season, with Rangers winning 1-0 at Ibrox in August thanks to a Filip Helander goal.

Celtic won their home match in December, stunning Rangers with three first half goals. Reo Hatate scored a double and Liel Abada added a third before half time.

Celtic are currently three points ahead in the table and both sides have seven matches left to play.
