Steven McLean will referee Saturday’s match between Hearts and Celtic at Tynecastle.
Despite being a familiar face in the top flight, Saturday’s match will just be McLean’s fourth Premiership match of the season, for some reason he never took charge of a fixture until October 5.
The evening kick-off will be shown live on Sky Sports with the fixture generally one of the most heated in the SPFL Premiership.
Footy Headlines deliver late night update on Celtic away kit
Celtic have suffered only one domestic defeat this season, back in March away to Hearts in a match dripping with controversy.
Don Robertson sent off Yang Hyun-jun early in the match then awarded Hearts a penalty with both decisions prompted by John Beaton on VAR.
After the match Brendan Rodgers described Beaton as incompetent, an action that led to a one match touchline ban.
Greg Aitken will be on VAR duty on Saturday, in the opening fixture of the season the SFA announced that he had wrongly denied Celtic a penalty following an foul on Kyogo Furuhashi by Robbie McCrorie.
Rodgers should find out the availability of players at some stage tomorrow with Japan currently in action against China with Canada, the USA and Honduras in action over the next 15 hours.
With Aberdeen playing away to St Mirren on Saturday afternoon, referee John Beaton, Celtic could kick-off at Tynecastle sitting in second place.
