DOUGIE McDonald has been selected to referee Sunday's Old Firm derby.
McDonald will take charge of his third clash between Celtic and Rangers when the teams meet in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League at Parkhead.

The previous encounters were relatively free of controversy and McDonald issued seven bookings in total.

Celtic won both games, a 3-0 home triumph against Alex McLeish's struggling side in November 2005 and a 2-0 victory in September 2006 when Kenny Miller notched his first goal in the green-and-white hoops.

McDonald will be under even greater scrutiny than usual after refereeing decisions dominated reaction to all three of the SPL's opening weekends.
