Dallas to referee Celtic Scottish Cup tie
Despite being on the FIFA list for two years it is the first time that Dallas Jnr has refereed a match involving Celtic.
Andrew is the son of former referee Hugh and at the age of 27 has enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks with some observers comparing him to a young Willie Collum.
Following a match refereed by Dallas earlier this season Inverness Caley Thistle boss John Hughes said: “What I will say is that I don’t think the referee is ready for the top-flight. He might be one day but not on this evidence.
“I thought he brought a nervousness to the game which didn’t help. There were a lot of fouls and it was stop-start. As for the red card, Andrea won’t get away with a tackle like that these days.”
After a game refereed by Dallas last season Hughes said: “He’s just a young kid, learning his trade. I understand he has to get experience. But we need to look at that because I’ve never seen so many bookings.”
Steven McLean will referee the Sevco v Cowdenbeath match on Sunday.
