Bobby Madden has been confirmed as the referee for the first Glasgow derby of the season this weekend, and many supporters are not happy.
The 40-year-old refereed the fiery encounter at Parkhead last season when Celtic ran out 2-1 winners, and will be the man tasked with keeping this weekend’s clash under control.
However, these supporters from both sets of fans on social media appear unhappy with the decision to appoint Madden as the referee.

The decision to appoint Madden as referee for Sunday’s Glasgow derby has certainly appeared to anger a few.
However, he has experience of this fixture before following last season’s intense encounter at Parkhead, and will no doubt be looking to referee the game as he would in any other fixture.
