SFA announce Celtic v Aberdeen referee and VAR

Willie Collum will referee Celtic for the second time this season when he takes charge of Sunday’s home match against Aberdeen.

The Lanarkshire based official also took charge of the 2-1 win away to Motherwell at the end of September.

After a long stint being regarded as Scotland’s top referee it is now more than 18 months since he was put in charge of a Glasgow Derby.

Kevin Clancy will be on VAR duty with Brendan Rodgers unusually critical of the refereeing and VAR decisions during Celtic’s 3-0 win away to Ross County.

Aberdeen return to Glasgow a week after reaching the final of the League Cup but via a Europa League trip to Greece where they face PAOK on Thursday night.

With two more days preparation and home advantage Celtic will be strong favourites to go into the international break on the back of a win.
