BBC reporter promises to grill SFA spokesman Broadfoot over Bobby Madden
Darryl Broadfoot will be in the spotlight tonight as the SFA find themselves in the midst of another crisis following the late withdrawal of Bobby Madden from the Ross County v Celtic match.
With less than three hours to kick-off The Sun announced that the match referee had been removed, later on the SFA issued a statement that raised more questions than deliver answers.
On Saturday Graeme Stewart was assistant referee at Hamilton v Hibs despite being told to self-isolate. It seemed that no-one at Easter Road was aware of that, no SFA official knew that he had been a close contact of David Roome following their weekend in Athens.
The same scenario was about to be played out at the Ross County v Celtic match until The Sun stepped in with the story.
Yup.
