Referees Named for Celtic-Rangers Cup Final

The Scottish Football Association has confirmed that John Beaton will officiate the Premier Sports Cup Final between Celtic and Rangers on December 15 at Hampden. Beaton will be assisted by David McGeachie and Jonathan Bell, with Alan Muir and Frank Connor serving as VAR officials. This match marks the second Old Firm clash of the season, following Celtic's 3-0 victory in September. Celtic reached the final with an impressive 6-0 win over Aberdeen, while Rangers secured their spot by overcoming Motherwell 2-1. The final is particularly significant as both clubs are tied with 118 major trophies, making the outcome crucial for bragging rights. Rangers are the defending champions, having won last year's League Cup against Aberdeen.
