WILLIE COLLUM will take charge of the Old Firm Scottish Cup semi-final.

SunSport can reveal the whistler has been chosen by the SFA to handle the Celtic v Rangers clash at Hampden a week on Sunday.

It will be the fourth time Collum, 38, has handled the powderkeg showdown. 

His last appearance in the fixture was back in October when Celtic thrashed Gers 5-1, when he sent Philippe Senderos packing for two bookings.

John Beaton has been appointed as the man in the middle for the other semi-final between Hibs and Aberdeen 24 hours earlier.

Thoughts?

They are aw fucking shite, doesn't matter.

[ForeverAndEver 71,469]

They've fucked up in the article as well, September was the game he took.

I'm sure he's reffed 5 old firms as well 

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,647]

Rangers to win 2-1 in normal time, moral !??

[Amac9 2,060]

Does it matter?

Every Scottish official is brutal. Just depends whether we are lucky or not on the day.

[Goianegra 4,682]

Honestly don't think there is much bias within referees in this country. They're just all a bit shite and they'd be just as likely to get a dodgy decision as us.

[To Be A Ranger 4,032]

No worse than the rest of them

Not any better than some others either 

[ianferguson 2,619]

Hopefully he tries to prove he's unbiased again ?.

[Thewhitesettler 2,711]

He's a very religious man, so he is. It's just a pity that his religion of choice is the RC church.

He isn't any better or worse, than any of the rest. At least, if we win, Beast FC can't complain, or ask, about the Mason in the black.

[gmcf 34,152]

Rather him than Craig Thomson tbh. 

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Tarrier behaviour moaning about referees before a ball is kicked. 

[WATP-FOREVER 5,231]

Looks like a tim and acts like one.

[K.A.I 36,183]

Collums never really bothered me 

apart from giving Falkirk a penalty that was outside the box a year ago I can't really think of too many times he's outraged me 

[kirkiebear 1,013]

Would rather him than Thompson. We get absolutely nothing from him.

[Creampuff 22,628]

He's better than most in Scotland tbh.

I would have been surprised if it was him. I do work for him, and was at his bit last week, his wife had their second child recently, 10 weeks early, and is in an incubator  at forth valley hospital. 

Baby is doing ok I'm led to believe, but the family spend a lot of time there. Don't think he's reffed a match since his son was born so far.

The referees being announced gets way too much attention, doesn't matter who it is, they'll try their best and end up fucking something up, here's hoping it's in our favour 

[.Williamson. 82,177]

I've never felt paranoid about referees tbh.

If you're going to win you'll win 

[jintybear 8,536]

@RFCRobertson

You should add a "I don't really give a fuck they're all shite" option

[Copland bear 7,966]

Cunt of a referee. But our standards are so bad now , but any 50/50 decision we are not getting it 

[Young Bob 1,360]

We will win.

[Wafflesniffer 399]

Pretty much every single referee in Scotland is fucking dire so it makes no difference.

[giffnockger 4,840]

is Collum 100% all there? couple of his 'big calls' have been fucking scary!

Remember he gave us that Kirk Broadfoot penalty at CP (we won 3-1) where the big man went down in installments. I am surprised WC never got sine died after that, although seem to remember he took a tonne of abuse from their fans.
