SFA put Calum Murray back in the firing line

The SFA have appointed Calum Murray to take charge of next Wednesday’s Aberdeen-Rangers match- twenty four hours after they hold an enquiry into last month’s stormy Celtic-Rangers Scottish Cup tie.

Murray sent off three Rangers players in the 1-0 defeat from Celtic with Madjid Bougherra and El Hadji-Diouf appearing before the Disciplinary Committee of the SFA on April 12 to answer charges of ‘misconduct of a significantly serious nature’.

Diouf could be in further bother afterdescribing Murray as the worst referee he’d ever had in an interview on French television.

Putting Murray in charge of a Rangers fixture the day after the Hampden enqiry increases the pressure that the referee will be under with the Aberdeen-Rangers game regarded as one of the most explosive fixture’s in the SPL.

Before heading to the Hampden inquest Murray will take charge of Saturday’s Celtic-St Mirren match.

Tomorrow night’s St Johnstone-Rangers game will be refereed by Crawford Allan with Euan Norris in charge of the Celtic-Hibs match the following night. Celtic’s trip to St Johnstone next Tuesday will be refereed by Iain Brines.
