Scottish Cup final referee and VAR team confirmed for Aberdeen vs Celtic

Don Robertson has been confirmed as the referee for the Scottish Cup final, with the rest of his team also confirmed.

Celtic and Aberdeen will meet in the showpiece clash, which will bring the curtain down on the Scottish season, at Hampden a week on Saturday.

It comes after the Hoops won 5-1 in a dress rehearsal on Wednesday night, goals scored by Maik Nawrocki, Yang, Luke McCowan, Johnny Kenny and Adam Idah.

Experienced whistler Robertson will take charge of the game after the Scottish FA announced their officiating teams for the huge clash, in which Celtic will hope to complete another domestic Treble.

On the other hand, it could secure a memorable first season in the Granite City for Jimmy Thelin, who had a sensational start to life with the Dons before falling away.
