Celtic and Rangers referees confirmed ahead of latest games as whistler swaps Light Blues for Hoops

Don Robertson will swap the pressure cooker of taking Rangers' opening match for taking charge of the first Celtic away game this weekend.

The Scottish FA have announced their officials for this weekend's run of SPFL matches. Robertson was the whistler for last Saturday's Premiership opener between Livingston and Rangers, which the Light Blues won 2-1. He is on the road to officiate Celtic against Ross County, with Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou keen to build on their 2-0 win against Aberdeen.

Assisting him will be Calum Spence and Steven Traynor as assistant referees. Gavin Duncan completes the team up at the Global Energy Stadium as the game's fourth official. Elsewhere, Rangers welcome Kilmarnock to Ibrox and Kevin Clancy will be in charge of the match in Govan. This will be the experienced referee's first league match of the season but it is not his first overall after Premier Sports Cup action.

Clancy has also taken to the continent and refereed a Europa Conference League second round qualifier between Shkendija Tetovo and Valmiera.

That was a fiery affair as he dished out six yellow cards and a red as the Macedonian hosts ran out 3-1 winners on the continent.

It will be more familiar territory this weekend with assistant referees David McGeachie and Graham McNeillie. Matthew MacDermid is the fourth official.
