- Don Robertson is the referee for Falkirk v Rangers on Sunday
- The game is live on Sky Sports with a noon kick-off.
- He was last in charge of a Rangers game in the Scottish Cup loss to Celtic.
Don Robertson will be the man in the middle for the crucial Falkirk vs Rangers clash on Sunday.
The high noon meeting at the Falkirk Stadium, live on Sky Sports, is the first of the last six games of the SPFL Premiership season, and Rangers will know what is required with Hearts and Celtic playing their respective games on Saturday.
39-year-old Robertson will be assisted by Daniel McFarlane and Calum Spence on the lines, while Andrew Dallas is the VAR.
He will be assisted by Sean Carr.
Falkirk vs Rangers referee
Don Robertson was last in charge of a Rangers game a few weeks ago when Celtic prevailed on penalties in the Scottish Cup.
On that occasion – which produced more action off the pitch that on it – the whistler issued five yellow cards in normal time with another two in extra time.
Mohamed Diomande’s very early caution was harsh to an extent, but he gave the ref a decision to make. He should know better, especially in the second minute.
The Ivorian international hasn’t since then.
He was injured for the St.Mirren game, then left on the bench for the subsequent wins over Aberdeen and Dundee United.

Hopefully, Robertson will oversee the game in a way that lets the game flow, without unnecessary interruptions or controversial decisions.
Too often last Saturday, John Beaton made himself the focus of the Dundee United game.
Let the teams play, and get on with it.
Come Sunday, there will be even more on the line. Whether that is the requirement to hold the pace, or to take advantage of any slip up from Rangers’ title opponents.
Rangers have struggled at Falkirk in recent times, and that is an issue that needs to be addressed. Particularly with another visit to the same venue to come on the fnal day of the season.
The rollercoster is approaching once again.
