Willie Collum is bound to break one incredible statistic on Sunday- in his last three matches involving Celtic or Sevco neither side has picked up a point.
In December the Lanarkshire based referee took charge of Celtic’s 4-0 defeat at Tynecastle that brought an end to the 69 match unbeaten domestic record under Brendan Rodgers.
A couple of weeks later he was off to Rugby Park where despite scoring first Sevco went down to a 2-1 defeat from Kilmarnock led by Kris Boyd.
What a couple of Stats this is for Sunday’s referee Willie Collum. His last #Celtic game was the 4-0 defeat at Tynecastle. The last 2 games he’s refereed for them was the 2-1 defeat at Killie & the 2-1 defeat at Ibrox by Hibs. Interesting!!

Since the winter break Collum has had one fixture involving the clubs with Hibs winning 2-1 at Ibrox with the winner coming from the penalty spot.
All of those fixtures will be forgotten at noon on Sunday with three crucial points up for grabs.
If Celtic record their fourth successive win at Ibrox they will effectively go 12 points clear at the top of the table but a home win would cut the gap to three points and despite Celtic having a game in hand hype for an Ibrox title challenge would go off the radar.
