Euan Norris has been appointed to take charge of Sunday’s Motherwell v Celtic clash.
Norris is a fairly new name on the refereeing circuit and has already refereed two Celtic games this season.
The last one is likely to be one that he’ll wish to forget- the 4-0 win over Hearts last month.
After dishing out first foul cards to Mark Wilson and Emilio Izaguirre he allowed Ian Black away with just a yellow card for a shocking off the ball foul on Paddy McCourt.
At half-time in that match Jim Jefferies was forced into substituting Rudi Skacel apparently on the advice of the fourth official after the midfielder had picked up a first half booking for persistent fouling.
Stevie MacLean will take charge of the Rangers-St Johnstone match at Ibrox.
One welcome features of the latest round off appointments is the continuing absence of Willie Collum from the top matches.
Collum hasn’t had a single Celtic or Rangers match since his abysmal display in the Hamilton-Celtic match on January 10 which viewed like a manual on how not to apply the laws of the game.
That was Collum’s fourth Celtic SPL match of the season. On Saturday he’ll be administering his own interpretation of the game at the First Division relegation battle between Morton and Dundee.
