Willie Collum named Rangers vs Hearts referee as Scottish Cup Final officials revealed

Experienced referee Willie Collum has been handed the role of refereeing the 2022 Scottish Cup final.

The 43-year-old will take charge of the clash between Rangers and Hearts at Hampden Park next Saturday.

Collum will be assisted by Daniel McFarlane and Dougie Potter while Nick Walsh will be his fourth official.

This will be the fourth time the former school teacher has been the man in the middle for Scottish football's showpiece event.

But it will be the first one involving Rangers - who could be on a huge high with a Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt taking place in Seville just three days before.

Collum has previously overseen Celtic’s 3-0 win over Hibernian in 2013, Inverness' memorable 2-1 victory over Falkirk in 2015 as well as the Hoops’ 2-1 triumph over Hearts in 2019.

He also refereed the League Cup final in 2012 between Celtic and Kilmarnock.

Rangers reached the final after a thrilling 2-1 extra time semi final victory over Celtic.

Meanwhile Hearts recorded a 2-1 win over Edinburgh rivals Hibs.
