First SPL appointment for Euan Norris
The success of Lanarkshire officials continues with Euan Norris being appointed to his first SPL game on the 26th of April. It is an excellent achievement for Euan who is only in his 3rd season as a category 1 referee. Having already had a taste of the big crowds at Celtic Park in the Scottish Cup this season Euan will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of messers Dougal, Smith and Winter with regular appointments to Scotlands top league.
Euan will referee the game between Kilmarnock and Gretna at Rugby Park and will be ably assisted by George Drummond and Neil Brand.
We wish Euan well for the game.

The Association are pleased to report that two Lanarkshire officials have been appointed to the Semi Finals of the Scottish Cup and the Scottish Junior Cup. Willie Dishington has been appointed as Assistant Referee to the Scottish Cup Semi Final game between Queen of the South and Aberdeen. This is a double for "The Dish" having been appointed to the Aberdeen v Dundee Utd CIS Cup Semi Final earlier in the season. John Beaton has also been appointed as Assistant Referee in the Scottish Junior Cup Semi Final game Thornton Hibs v Cumnock. This is an excellent achievement for John in his first season as a Category 2 referee.
Both Semi Final games are to be played on Saturday the 12th of April. Congratulations and good luck to both Willie and John
