Premiership referees and VARs confirmed for weekend fixtures

THE officials for this weekend's Premiership fixtures have been confirmed.

The referees and VARs have been assigned to each match over the course of Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.

The video technology has already caused quite the stir on the game north of the border since its introduction two-weeks-ago. 

There were highly controversial incidents at Tannadice and McDiarmid Park in particular last Saturday.

And this weekend will probably prove no different.

Celtic host Dundee United on Saturday, while Rangers make the trip to Perth to face St Johnstone on Sunday.

David Dickinson will be the man in the middle at Celtic Park, with Nick Walsh in position as the VAR.

Meanwhile, at McDiarmid on Sunday, Steven McLean will take charge with Alan Muir assisting him from Clydesdale House in the Scottish FA's VAR headquarters.

There are two fixtures tonight on Friday, November 4. 

Aberdeen host Hibs at Pittodrie. David Munro will be the man in the middle, Steven Kirkland on VAR.

Colin Steven will referee Kilmarnock vs Livingston, with Greg Aitken on VAR duty.

Onto the other weekend games, John Beaton will take charge of Ross County vs St Mirren. Willie Collum will be his VAR.

And finally, Kevin Clancy will referee Hearts against Motherwell and David Munro will assist him on VAR.
