Rangers vs Celtic referee revealed as Bobby Madden to take charge of Ibrox showdown

Bobby Madden will referee this Sunday's derby between Rangers and Celtic .

The SFA have confirmed the experienced whistler will be the man in the middle as the bitter Glasgow rivals collide at Ibrox.

Willie Collum has been named as fourth official while Graeme Stewart and Frank Connor will run the lines.

Steven Gerrard and Neil Lennon's side go head to head this weekend having both made perfect starts to their Premiership campaigns.

They've racked up three wins from three with the Hoops topping the table on goal difference.

Madden last took charge of the fixture back in March as Celtic grabbed a last-gasp 2-1 victory on a controversial afternoon.

Rangers star Alfredo Morelos received his fifth red card of the campaign for elbowing Scott Brown before multiple retrospective punishments were dished out to players, managers and the clubs themselves.

Ryan Kent copped a ban for striking Brown and his boss Gerrard was  suspended for comments aimed at Madden after full-time.

The sides were also charged by the SFA for failing to control their players and were fined £7500 each.
