YELLOW PERIL…Auston Trusty is booked by referee Nick Walsh during Celtic’s 3-1 Premier Sports League Cup semi-final triumph over the Ibrox side at Hampden in November last year.
Walsh was also the man in the middle when the teams met in the same competition at the semi-final stage in November last year.
The Hoops, then the holders, won 3-1 in extra-time with goals from Johnny Kenny, Callum McGregor and Callum Osmand. The Ibrox team’s consolation goal came via a late penalty-kick from former captain James Tavernier.
Walsh and McInnes have already had a heated exchange this season after the Govan gaffer confronted the referee following the Ibrox team’s 1-1 draw with Dundee United at Tannadice in the manager’s debut last month.
