Match officials named for Celtic’s games against FC Midtjylland and Kilmarnock | OneFootball

Next up for Celtic under Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney is a rather intriguing encounter in central Jutland against Danish high-flyers FC Midtjylland in Thursday evening’s early kick-off (5.45pm CPT) match in the Europa League…

There will be a media conference from Martin O’Neill and possibly Shaun Maloney at the MCH Arena this evening and we’ll report on that when it happens.

UEFA has confirmed the match officials for this match with all but one (the Video Assistant Referee) coming from Serbia. The VAR is Iva Bebek and he is from Croatia.

The Serbian match officials are referee Nenad Minaković and his assistants Nikola Borović and Boško Božović. The fourth official is Milan Mitić and the Assistant VAR is Aleksandar Živković.

Jumping ahead to the weekend and Celtic’s final game before the next international break is a home game at Celtic Park on Sunday afternoon against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership and please note that this game has a 4pm kick-off time.

Hearts are at home for the third time in four games, this time against Dundee United while theRangers are in the City of Discovery to take on Dundee at Dens Park with both those games kicking off at 3pm.

Yesterday the Scottish FA announced the match officials for this weekend and the Celtic versus Kilmarnock match will be handled by Don Robertson who will be assisted by Calum Spence and Sean Carr. Another of our old pals, Greg Aitken will be on VAR and he will be assisted by Ross Hardie.

After the Kilmarnock break we go into the final international break of the year as attention turns to Scotland’s World Cup double header away to Greece then at home to Denmark.

Celtic return to action away to St Mirren on Saturday 22 November and this one has an 8pm kick-off.  That of course will be a dress rehearsal for the Premier Sports Cup Final at Hampden Park on Sunday 14 December.

For the moment though it’s all about taking three valuable away points in the Europa League in Denmark tomorrow evening.
