Alain Hamer in charge of Celtic AND Rangers matches

|

Luxembourg’s top referee Alain Hamer will referee Celtic AND Rangers this weekend!

The highly rated UEFA rated whistler will be in charge of Celtic’s match with Inverness Caley Thistle on Saturday then travel to Tannadice for the Dundee United-Rangers match the following day.

With the withdrawl of Polish referees to take charge of SPL matches the SFA had to decide whether to have a lesser experienced referee given a Celtic or Rangers match or give Hamer a ‘double dunt’.

Hamer will have the same assistant’s for both matches with Stephen Allan of the SFA the fourth official at the Celtic match and Andy Tait on touchline duties the following day.

In midweek the 45-year-old was in charge of Hapoel Tel Aviv’s 3-0 Champions League win over Benfica where he dished out four yellow cards.

    Welcome Mr Hamer.

    I sincerely hope you have quiet games and we barely notice you.

    Just be honest and upfront even if you have made a major error. That’s all we ask!

    As long as he isn’t corrupted and got at before he starts we may be looking at the future of the revival of a game destroyed by the corrupt establishment that is the SFA and SPL. This is the opportunity to turn ourselves around for the nation, not the establishment.

    I´m a Tim from Luxembourg and I know Mr Hamer quite well! As a Jeunesse Esch follower, I don´t like him at all, as he´s given at least as many strange decisions against them as Doggie McD did against Celtic, so don´t expect too much! A few advices:

    – I´d call for Lenny to stay calm, as Mr Hamer would probably send him off the ground for his very 1st word of critisism;

    – He generally does not like anyone to speak to him on the pitch, so our players should just shut their mouths!

    – I´d put him on the “soft side” of refereeing, meaning that he´d probably give some free kicks for “fouls” that scottish refs would never give…

    – He does not tend to deny penalties!!

    Hail! Hail!
