Former top Scottish referee Hugh Dallas is becoming Turkish TV star - but is making a pit stop home to cover Celtic’s UEFA Youth League match against Real Madrid.
Dallas was previously head of referees in Scotland as well as deputy referees development officer at UEFA. But now he has made the move to Turkey, signing a one-year deal to train Turkish officials. The whistler is also now the frontman on a new television show on beIN that analyses big refereeing decisions.
But today he is back in his homeland to cover the young Hoops' European clash, reports Scottish Express Sport. The 64-year-old is in the country to fill the role of the referee's observer for today's under-19s match between Celtic and the La Liga side. The match takes place at Airdrie's Excelsior Stadium in a group stage clash that mirrors the first team's blockbuster opener to their 2022/23 Champions League campaign.
