Nick Walsh named Celtic vs Rangers referee for Viaplay Cup final while VAR officials also revealed

Nick Walsh has been named the man in the middle for the Viaplay Cup final against holders Celtic and fierce rivals Rangers at Hampden later this month.

The 33-year-old took charge of the Ibrox side's extra time semi-final victory over Aberdeen at the National Stadium and is making a speedy return for the showpiece occasion as the first piece of silverware of the season will be contested.

Walsh will be assisted by Frank Connor and David Roome while Kevin Clancy is taking on fourth official duties for the day. John Beaton will be at Clydesdale House on VAR duty. And Walsh will be hoping there are no technical issues this time around after he was left without a connection to the VAR control for a brief spell at the start of extra time during the semi-final.
