Nick Walsh and Steven McLean will swap roles this weekend as the officiating pair combine again for Rangers v Aberdeen, following on from controversy at Hearts v Celtic.
The pair came in the firing line on VAR'S (video assistant referee) opening weekend in the Premiership. Walsh was the man in the middle while McLean acted as the video official, but their day was marred in controversy. The whistler was lambasted for failing to award Celtic a first half penalty when the ball struck Jambos defender Michael Smith on the arm inside the penalty box.
McLean was busy too as he recommended Walsh award Hearts a spot kick in the first half before ratifying a second penalty after the break. Celtic also had a goal cut off but now they will swap positions with John McCrossan assisting. Willie Collum meanwhile takes charge of Livingston v Celtic on Sunday afternoon after working as VAR ref at Hibs v St Johnstone.
