Referee and VAR officials revealed for Celtic's flag day clash with St Mirren

The officials have been revealed for Celtic's clash with St Mirren this weekend. 

The Parkhead club begin the defence of their title on Sunday as they welcome Stephen Robinson's men to Glasgow's east end. 

As is tradition on the reigning champions' first home matchday of the campaign, the league flag will be unfurled before kick-off. 

Regarding the game itself, Don Robertson will take charge of proceedings. 

David Roome and Craig Ferguson will run the lines, with Greg Aitken on VAR duties. Graeme Leslie is the AVAR official.

Celtic ended last season with a home game against St Mirren, James Forrest's late equaliser sparing their trophy day blushes. 

Brendan Rodgers will be hoping for a much smoother ride this time around against the Paisley outfit. 

Chris Sutton thinks the Parkhead boss has been 'calculated' with his recent comments. 

"The squad should not be weaker now than it was at the end of last season," he said, speaking at the launch of the William Hill Warm-Up show and podcast on Monday evening. "But that is the case. Tierney's signing is a huge boost, while Nygren coming in looks neat and tidy, but there are still areas to address. 

"A few days ago, Brendan Rodgers used the word ‘ambition’ in his press conference. He is very calculated in everything that he says, and that tells you everything. It is okay to get the baseball bat out right now, but there is still time in the window.

"It is best to judge Celtic at the end of the window and see what happens in the next few weeks."
