Celtic v Hibs: Matthew MacDermid handed whistle for clash

Celtic face Hibernian on Sunday afternoon as the Scottish Champions return to domestic action after a sobering defeat in the Europa League. The visitors from Edinburgh will be hoping to put pressure on Celtic after the loss to Stuttgart while Martin O’Neill’s side want to bounce back with three points.

The SFA have confirmed the refereeing team for the game at Celtic Park with Matthew MacDermid taking charge of the 3pm meeting.

MacDermid will be assisted by Daniel McFarlane and Chris Rae. The 32-year-old has taken charge of two games this season, a 2-0 defeat away to Dundee then the 4-2 win over Livingston.

Meanwhile, at Clydesdale House, Grant Irvine is on VAR with Ross Hardie assisting.

Celtic have left it late in their last two league games with goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Julian Araujo rescuing all the points against Livi and Killie. Hibs showcased that they can hold firm at Celtic Park back in September.
