The SFA have announced that Willie Collum will referee Sunday’s all-Glasgow Scottish Cup semi-final.
It is more than a year since the Lanarkshire based official was put in charge of that fixture, he missed out on two last season with this season’s four matches given to Nick Walsh twice, John Beaton and most recently Kevin Clancy.
Collum has had a typically erratic season in charge of matches with red cards given to John Lundstram and Nicky Clark down graded on appeal.
Steven McLean will be Sunday’s VAR official with Don Robertson as fourth official, often the fourth official will referee the next Derby match with the two clubs scheduled to meet at Ibrox on a date to be announced.
In Collum’s last Derby appointment Tom Rogic and Cameron Carter-Vickers scored for Celtic in a 2-1 win at Ibrox, Nick Walsh will referee Saturday’s semi-final between Falkirk and Inverness Caley Thistle.
Celtic travel to Hampden with three Derby victories and a draw in this season’s fixtures but much will rest on the fitness of Jota, Reo Hatate and Liel Abada.
