Referee Don Robertson speaks to Celtic’s Callum McGregor
Don Robertson has been named referee for the Old Firm Scottish Cup quarter final clash at Ibrox on Sunday.
Robertson will take charge as Rangers host Celtic for the second time in seven days following the 2-2 draw in the Premiership at the weekend.
The rivals battle it out for a place in the last four of the Scottish Cup this time, with a place at Hampden on the line.
And now the SFA have revealed that the man in the middle for the huge match will be Robertson, who made his debut in this fixture as a late replacement for Willie Collum in the Scottish Cup semi-final in April 2023. Robertson will be assisted by Ross Macleod and David Roome.
Andrew Dallas will be on VAR duties at Clydesdale House and will be assisted by Matthew MacDermid.

VAR played a crucial role in the league encounter on Sunday with referee John Beaton referred to the monitor for a handball incident involving Dujon Sterling which led to a penalty award right at the death.
