DAVID DICKINSON will be in charge of Celtic’s Premiership encounter against Falkirk at Parkhead on Sunday.
The match official will be assisted by David Roome and Chris Rae on the flanks while Andrew Dallas will be in control in the VAR studios.
It will be Dickinson’s second game as referee in a Hoops game this season with the other coming against Aberdeen in the east end of Glasgow on December 21 when French flop Wilfried Nancy sampled his first win as boss of the champions at the fifth time of asking.
HEADS I WIN…Benjamin Nygren is under extreme pressure as he nods in Celtic’s winner during the hard-fought encounter against Falkrk earlier this month.
Goals from Benjamin Nygren, Kieran Tierney and James Forrest gave the hosts a 3-1 triumph against a 10-man Dons side who had defender Dylan Lobban red-carded just before the interval.
This will be the fourth time Celtic have played John McGlynn’s outfit in this campaign and the champions boast a 100 per cent record.
They overwhelmed the Premiership new boys 4-1 in the Premier Sports League Cup opener at Parkhead in August and followed that up with a 4-0 success in the league in October, Martin O’Neill’s first game back in interim charge after Brendan Rodgers’ resignation.
And the Irishman was also patrolling the touchline at the Falkirk Stadium 13 days ago in the second outing during his return after Nancy had been sacked at the beginning of January following the 3-1 home loss to Ibrox opposition, his sixth defeat in eight games.
Nygren scored the only goal last time out and it promises to be a tough confrontation at Parkhead at the weekend.
