AliousThe Scottish FA has officially announced the refereeing team for Rangers’ upcoming Scottish Premiership encounter against Falkirk this weekend—news that may spark mixed reactions among supporters.
Danny Röhl’s side head into the fixture aiming to extend their impressive recent form.
With rivals Celtic and Hearts already in action on Saturday, Rangers will be the last of the top three to take to the pitch, adding extra pressure—and opportunity—to deliver.
For Sunday’s showdown at Falkirk Stadium, experienced referee Don Robertson has been appointed as the man in charge.
He will be supported by assistants Daniel McFarlane and Calum Spence, while Andrew Dallas and Sean Carr oversee VAR operations from Clydesdale House.
Robertson is no stranger to Rangers this season, having officiated six of their matches already. His track record with the club has been a mixed bag.
It began with a 1-1 draw against Dundee at Ibrox in August, followed by a goalless Old Firm clash.
He also oversaw another draw against Dundee United, before taking charge of a narrow 1-0 win over Hibernian and an entertaining 4-2 victory against Hearts.
However, his most recent involvement may raise concerns among fans—he was in charge during Rangers’ Scottish Cup quarter-final exit to Celtic, which ended in a painful penalty shootout defeat.
On the other side, Falkirk have only encountered Robertson once this season, enjoying a convincing 4-1 home win over Hibernian under his watch.Interestingly, both previous meetings between Rangers and Falkirk this campaign have ended level.
A 1-1 draw at Falkirk proved to be the final game of Russell Martin’s tenure back in October, while a 0-0 stalemate followed at Ibrox a month later.
With history suggesting tight contests and Robertson’s record offering both positives and negatives, this officiating appointment brings a blend of optimism and caution for Rangers as they prepare for a crucial outing.
