The SFA have announced the officials for Celtic’s upcoming Scottish Cup semi-final against St Johnstone.

Brendan Rodgers is on the brink of delivering Celtic’s ninth-domestic treble this season as St Johnstone stand in his way of another domestic cup final.

With the league title all but wrapped up, the Scottish Cup remains as the only viable contested trophy this season and the Celtic manager will be desperate to get his hands on the trophy.

And now, the SFA have announced the team of officials who will take charge of Celtic’s semi-final against St Johnstone this Sunday as one gets a Hampden Bhoys debut.

SFA appoint Callum Scott as Scottish Cup Celtic referee vs St Johnstone

The SFA have announced that referee Callum Scott has been named as the man in the middle and will be in charge of the big Hampden date.

Assisting Scott down the sidelines will be Graeme Stewart and Dougie Potter. Andrew Dallas is appointed the VAR official with Alan Mulvanny assisting on the video technology.

With the recent VAR controversies surrounding Celtic, the SFA will be keen for this weekend to pass by quietly and hope that the fans will be talking about the result rather than any mistakes the officials make.

Callum Scott’s refereeing record vs Celtic as amid Rangers’ Scottish Cup humiliation

Callum Scott has refereed 148 matches across the various professional leagues in Scotland, handing out 538 yellows, 29 red cards and 52 penalties.

However, in games involving Celtic, Scott has only been the man in the middle twice in the Hoops’ 5-0 win over Ross County in the Scottish Premiership back in November and the 5-2 League Cup quarter-final win against Falkirk at Celtic Park.

Scott has never refereed a Scottish Cup game involving Celtic, and his most highest profile match was, remarkably, Rangers’ 1-0 defeat in the competition to Queen’s Park.

Celtic fans will be hoping there will be no repeat of that result this weekend as the Parkhead club look to win the 43rd Scottish Cup in their history.
