SFA announce referee and VAR officials for Celtic's Scottish Cup semi-final  | videocelts.com

Kevin Clancy comes in from the cold to take charge of Celtic’s home match against Hearts on Saturday.

Last season the Glasgow based official refereed the April Glasgow Derby that Celtic won 3-2 to go 12 points ahead and put a firm hand on the title.

The last time Clancy was in charge of a Celtic match was in December when Hearts won 2-0 in a sombre atmosphere without the noise and colour of the Green Brigade.

That match was the only home defeat that Celtic have suffered at home in the SPFL this season- and was followed up by a defeat to at Tynecastle last month.

Celtic have only dropped two points since that set-back, drawing 3-3 at Ibrox and go into Saturday’s match with a three point lead and a plus five goal difference advantage over Philippe Clement’s side.

Nick Walsh will be on VAR duty for the match, the following day David Dickinson will be the referee when Kilmarnock visit Ibrox, Dickinson was also in charge when the teams met at Rugby Park in February.
