Nicolas Walsh[1][better source needed] is a Scottish football referee, currently a referee in the SPFL and a FIFA referee.
Refereeing career
Walsh's first Scottish Professional Football League game as a referee came at the beginning of the Scottish League Two campaign, when he oversaw Clyde against Queen's Park.[2]
On 22 October 2022, Walsh refereed the second Scottish Premiership match with the video assistant referee (VAR), which saw Celtic beat Hearts 4–3.[3]
Walsh was selected as the referee for the 2024 Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Rangers. During the match Walsh disallowed a goal scored by Rangers for an apparent infringement on the Celtic goalkeeper. The decision was criticised by Rangers manager Clement stating "its a really big call to disallow the goal when Celtic players are grabbing and pulling my players".[4]
