Charlie Richmond will take charge of Saturday’s crunch Division Two clash between Airdrie United and Arbroath.
It is the first appointment that the Ayrshire official has been given since his below par showing in the recent Motherwell-Celtic match.
After turning a blind eye to a number of bone crunching challenges from Keith Lasley and Steve Jennings- mainly targetted on James Forrest- Richmond finally discovered his red card in the 83rd minute to dismiss Tim Clancy with seven minutes left to play.
Richmond was overlooked for SPL appointments throughout last season with his appointment at Airdrie on Saturday suggesting that he is in for another long holiday from high profile fixtures.
Tomorrow night’s visit from Dunfermline will be the first Celtic match refereed by Bobby Madden. The 33-year-old has been on the Category 1 list since 2008.
Saturday’s home match against St Mirren will be refereed by Steven McLean with Alan Muir in charge of the Kilmarnock v Rangers game at Rugby Park the following day.
