John Beaton will referee the Hearts v Celtic clash tomorrow- two years after he was duped by Jamie Walker in the same fixture.

In Brendan Rodgers’ first domestic match in charge of Celtic the hoops were leading thanks to an early goal from James Forrest.

Nine minutes from the interval Walker decided to dive in the penalty box with Beaton racing to the penalty spot without consulting with his assistant.

Walker recovered sufficiently to score from the penalty spot but was hit with a two match suspension by the SFA for simulation.

Substitute Scott Sinclair scored the winner for Celtic.

Assisting Beaton tomorrow will be Tory MP Douglas ‘RED CARD RED CARD’ Ross and David Roome. Steven McLean is the fourth official.

Steven Naismith will be available for Hearts, in the last meeting between the two clubs he picked up a two match retrospective suspension for attacking Scott Brown, his assault on James Forrest went unpunished.
