John Beaton will be the referee for Saturday’s crunch Old Firm match at Ibrox. The Scottish referee will take the reigns in what promises to be a feisty affair. It will also be the second time John Beaton has been in charge of the fixture. The last time is best forgotten about. Celtic dismantled us…
We`re supposed to be happy with the guy who gave one of the worst refereeing displays ever seen at Ibrox last season when Hibs beat us 3-2 .Allowed Stokes to assault Tav , then Jack .Sent Jack off for nothing which cost us the game , a decision that was then overturned . There are no decent referees on Scotland but Beaton is on a par with Collum and Thomson , witness the Aberdeen v Hearts game on Saturday ,stonewall penalties missed for one side ,soft penalty awarded to the other . We will need to be squeaky clean and even that may not be enough with this numpty in charge.
