Nick Walsh gets fresh Ibrox appointment

Yesterday Nick Walsh completed his working week, assisting with the fitness of Murray Park starlets as a PE teacher at Boclair High School.

Today he will pick up a welcome VAR fee from the SFA as he keeps an eye on Willie Collum’s performance at Ibrox with St Johnstone the visitors.

In 25 domestic match Walsh has refereed the Ibrox club six times, four at Ibrox, once at Celtic Park and one game at Hampden.

With 17 referees taking charge of Premiership matches this season the frequency of Walsh’s Ibrox appointments stand out, even more so with his daily contact with the coaching staff at Murray Park.

Adding VAR appointments adds to the intrigue, on Wednesday Walsh will finish up at Boclair Academy then head to Celtic Park to take charge of the visit from Livingston, his second Celtic Park fixture of 2023.
