It's Craig Thomson- again and again

Craig Thomson will referee Sunday’s Hearts v Celtic match- the third time running that he’s been in charge of the Tynecastle fixture between the clubs.

Thomson has also been in charge of Celtic’s last three SPL visits to Ibrox highlighting the limited pool of referees available to take charge of the most high profile fixtures.

The last time that Celtic played Hearts Neil Lennon was attacked by Hearts supporter John Wilson.

On the pitch Kris Commons received a second yellow card for celebrating Celtic’s third goal with the fans behind the goal having earlier been booked for ‘simulation’ following a heavy challenge from Ian Black.

In November Joe Ledley was given a straight red card for a foul on Black with Lennon sent from the technical area for protesting after Thomson had missed a penalty box handball by Ryan Stephenson.

Tomorrow night Thomson will take charge of the CSKA Moscow v Inter Milan Champions League match.

Celtic’s Europa League match against Udinese will be refereed by 39-year-old Bülent Y?ld?r?m from Turkey.
