Don Robertson will referee Celtic for the second time this season when he takes charge of Sunday’s match away to September.

At the start of September he took charge of the Glasgow derby, failing to spot a first half incident where Jack Butland and Connor Goldson both man handled Kyogo Furuhashi which ended up with the striker lying on the turf.

Robertson has a tradition for letting things go in matches, in December 2021 and January 2022 David Turnbull and Yosuke Ideguchi were on the wrong end of brutal challenges that resulted in yellow cards which were later the subject of retrospective red cards from the SFA.

Kevin Clancy will be on VAR duty for the match at Perth with Celtic looking to avenge a home draw against St Johnstone earlier in the season.

Craig Levein is now in charge of St Johnstone, replacing Steven MacLean, picking up seven points from three home matches against Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Ross County before losing away to Hearts on Saturday.
