Celtic players will be on alert tonight with Don Robertson in charge of the clash against Motherwell at Fir Park.
Just a fortnight ago the same referee was in the middle for the trip to Kilmarnock that resulted in Jeremie Frimpong missing the last four matches with the defender not scheduled to return to training until Monday.
In the opening 10 minutes Killie keeper Jan Koprivec wiped out Leigh Griffiths as he challenged for a ball in the penalty box without Robertson taking any action.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Jeremie.

Late on in the match came the flashpoint that upset Neil Lennon, Scott Brown and the Celtic support.
Breaking towards the half-way line Kilmarnock midfielder Alan Power reached out to challenge his opponent with his left leg, then followed through with his right with his knee sending Frimpong to the ground.
After six minutes of treatment the young defender was stretchered off with play re-starting with a throw-in. No action was taken against Power by the match referee or the SFA Compliance Officer.
The following day Scott Brown suggested that he could have been sent off for a similar challenge.
