NICK WALSH will be in charge of Celtic’s crucial Premiership encounter against Dundee United at Tannadice on Sunday afternoon.
Daniel McFarlane and David McGeachie will assist the referee on the touchlines while David Dickinson is on VAR, aided by Andrew Dallas.
With eight games to go, Martin O’Neill’s men go into another must-win confrontation. At the moment, the Hoops are two points adrift of Hearts who play Dundee at Tynecastle the previous day.
The champions are also a point ahead of Danny Rohl’s outfit who take on Aberdeen at Ibrox in a late kick-off at 5.45pm on Saturday.
CRYING OUT LOUD…Kasper Schmeichel clearly disagrees with Nick Walsh’s decision.
Walsh was the match official earlier this month when Celtic beat Aberdeen 2-1 at Pittodrie as they continued their quest for a fifth successive title.
He was also the man in the middle when O’Neill guided the team past the Premier Sports League Cup semi-final hurdle of the Govan club with strikes from Johnny Kenny, Callum McGregor and Callum Osmand in a 3-1 extra-time win in November.
He was the match official when Celtic, with O’Neill again in interim charge, overcame Hibs 2-1 at Easter Road with an early double from Maeda and Engels 28 days after the Hampden victory.
