SFA announce referee for Celtic v Hearts

Kevin Clancy will follow up his appearance at Ibrox for the visit of St Johnstone with an appearance at Sunday’s match between Celtic and Hearts. 

This appears to be a bit of a trend from the SFA who put Don Robertson in charge of Livingston’s visit from Giovanni van Bronckhorst then put him in the middle for Celtic’s trip to Ross County a week later. 

Clancy has refereed three domestic matches this season plus one Europa Conference qualifier, his last Celtic fixture was away to Ross County in April when the hoops won 2-0. 

The visit of Hearts has been put back to Sunday due to the Edinburgh side facing Zurich on Thursday night in a Europa League Play Off with the return leg at Tynecastle next Thursday. 

Hearts have taken seven points from their three SPFL matches this season, dropping points to Hibs with Martin Boyle scoring an injury time equaliser to deny Robbie Neilson’s side a 100% record.
