Bobby Madden has revealed that a match between St Mirren and Celtic 10 years ago was his worst as a referee - and it almost ruined a stag do.
The clash on Easter Sunday 2013 that finished 1-1 was marred in controversy. He chalked off a Buddies goal for a foul on Hoops goalkeeper Fraser Forster, a penalty decision for an apparent handball by Giorgos Samaras was missed, Victor Wanyama was sent packing for what appeared a flick at Paul McGowan and St Mirren were awarded a spot-kick when no touch on Isma Goncalves was evident.
It was a game that finished 1-1 and Celtic boss at the time Neil Lennon called it "by far the most appalling refereeing performance" he'd seen up to that point that season "by a long, long way." Appearing on Sportsound following his retirement from refereeing, Madden has admitted it was a bad day that almost ruined a friend's stag-do. He said: "2013, St Mirren vs Celtic on Easter Sunday, that is the game I underperformed. I think there is three major errors and it was such a disappointing day for me.
