Willie Collum will be in charge of Celtic’s match at Livingston on Sunday.

The SFA website has still to list all four match officials for the televised clash but the SPFL have listed the Lanarkshire based whistler for Sunday’s match.

Collum refereed Celtic’s 3-1 win over Hearts in August and in midweek took charge of the Juventus v Bayer Leverkusen Champions League tie.

The match officials will be under extra scrutiny this weekend after the performances of Kevin Clancy and Alan Mulvanny at the Hibs v Celtic match at Easter Road.

During the second half almost all pundits were in agreement that Celtic should have been awarded two penalties when Ryan Christie and Moritz Bauer were fouled in the penalty box. Both match officials had clear views of the incident, there was no need for hi-tech replays or VAR technology to identify the fouls committed.

Last Friday Collum refereed Queen of the South’s 1-1 draw with Dundee which was also televised live.
