The referee and VAR officials have been confirmed for Celtic’s trip to Tynecastle. This Sunday, The Bhoys head to Gorgie in search of three crucial Scottish Premiership points.
An emphatic 7-1 win blew Dundee away on Wednesday evening. This, combined with a late 3-1 victory over Motherwell at the weekend, means the Celts go into Sunday’s game with utmost momentum.
There will be less than 600 away fans in the capital, but that didn’t faze the champions near the start of the season. The Hoops put the Jambos to the sword in an impressive 4-1 triumph back in October but the last time the sides met, it was Hearts who walked away victorious.
Mid-December, Steven Naismith’s men came away from Parkhead with all three points. A repeat performance cannot be put in this time around from Brendan Rodgers’ side.
For the game, the officials have been confirmed. Don Robertson will take charge of proceedings as Daniel McFarlane and Ross Macleod will run the lines. Graham Grainger is due to be the fourth official. On VAR is John Beaton, assisted by Andrew McWilliam.
The Hoops will be hoping the antics of the referee and his associates won’t come into consideration this weekend but in Scottish football, one can never be sure.
Kick-off on Sunday is at noon with the match being shown live on Sky Sports.
