This appointment marks the first time MacDermid will be overseeing a match involving the Hoops, adding an extra layer of interest to the fixture. It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on.

Joining him in the officiating team and taking charge of the VAR will be Andrew Dallas. Dallas, a more familiar face in the Scottish football scene, has had his fair share of high-profile matches and will be tasked with ensuring that any contentious decisions are thoroughly reviewed and adjudicated upon correctly.

Brendan Rodgers will be hoping that he can finally guide Celtic to a win with a good performance, with Celtic still looking sluggish as we go into September.
