The SFA have today confirmed experienced referee Bobby Madden will be the man in charge for the final Edinburgh Derby of the season this weekend.

Madden will be assisted by linesmen Willie Conquer and David McGeachie while Stephen Finnie is the match fourth official.

The FIFA recognised ref was last in charge for Hibs 2-1 victory over Ross County back in February – incidentally the last time the Hibees picked up maximum points from a league encounter.

Conquer ran the line during the Hibees Scottish Cup Final defeat against Celtic in May last year.

Sunday’s clash is likely to be a lively affair with Hibs apparently in freefall with only one victory in their last 15 league and cup encounters whilst Gary Locke’s revitalised side have won three on the bounce including a 2-0 victory against Hibernian in the penultimate match prior the the league split.

The match itself will be broadcast live on BT Sport with a 12:45pm kick off time.
