Referees and VARs confirmed for weekend Premiership fixtures

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

The referees and VARs have been assigned to each match on Saturday and Sunday.

Rangers host Aberdeen on Saturday, while Celtic face an away trip to Livingston on Sunday.

VAR made its debut in domestic Scottish fixtures last weekend.

There were several talking points and controversial calls from the use, or lack of use, from the technology.

This weekend will no doubt prove to be of a similar ilk.

Steven McLean will be the man in the middle at Ibrox, with Nick Walsh on VAR duty and John McCrossan assisting. This will be a swap in roles for the officials from last Saturday's Hearts vs Celtic fixture.

Willie Collum will be in charge of Celtic's trip to West Lothian. Alan Muir will be the main VAR, with Frank Connor assisting.

Andrew Dallas will be on VAR with Gary Hilland for Ross County vs Hearts, with David Dickinson the referee.

Hibs take on St Mirren on Saturday with Greg Aitken and David Roome on VAR, while Don Robertson takes charge at Easter Road.

David Munro and Alan Mulvanny are the VARs for Dundee United vs Motherwell with John Beaton officiating at Tannadice.

Finally, Euan Anderson is the VAR as St Johnstone take on Kilmarnock with Gary Hilland assisting also. Craig Napier will take charge on the pitch.
