The referee for Rangers’ Battle of Britain clash with Liverpool at Ibrox will bring back memories – after he was also in charge of their agonising Europa League Final defeat just five months ago.
Slovenian Slavko Vincic has been named the man in the middle by UEFA for the cross-border Champions League showdown and the 41-year-old will bring back unhappy memories after also officiating the Light Blues’ defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville.
Vincic has been FIFA accredited since 2010 and has regularly officiated in Europe’s premier competition and Europa League. Liverpool are also familiar with him after he took charge of their Champions League last-16 tie against RB Leipzig last season.
