Nick Walsh Rangers v Celtic

Praise where it is due here. Nick Walsh in his first Old Firm
game handled the game incredibly well, the "highlight" being an
excellent advantage in the run up to Rangers opening goal. Walsh
then correctly dismissed McGregor of Celtic for a second yellow
once the goal was scored for the foul where the advantage was
played.
First of many big matches for Mr Walsh I think on this showing.

Totally agree, Mr. Walsh rose to the occasion (although the game
was not as volatile as it has been). The advantage for the goal
followed by the second YC was a superb piece of refereeing.
I would only have two small criticisms. I thought at times his
body language was a bit stiff, deliberate and robotic. This can
give across an ever so slightly arrogant feeling IMO. He also
gave a YC in the second half after playing a very good
advantage. The yellow card was for a shirt pull and presumably
SPA so I don't think after playing advantage he should have gone
back and cautioned.
On the whole though, a very convincing performance in the
biggest game of his career. Well done Mr. Walsh.

Just to add to this Nick Walsh has now been appointed to the
Scottish Cup Final between Hibernian and St Johnstone.
Very well done to him and the others in the officiating team.

He impressed us in Hungary, which is no easy task!
Well done to him

I know very little about Scottish football but see that he is
only 30. Does this make him the youngest ever Cup Final referee?
Amazing if so.
Are we possibly looking at a future star in the football world,
even a potential World Cup final referee of the future?

I would sincerely hope so! Bobby Madden is 42; John Beaton is 39
and Kevin Clancy 37 so all will miss out on Elite status. I hope
Willie Collum can cling onto his Elite status.
I suppose my question is 'How much influence does Hugh Dallas
actually have"?
Roberto Rosetti seems to use his influence to push the Italian
referees; I'm assuming Marc Batta has championed Turpin and
Bastien and bmb highlights Kyros Vassaras' sterling work in
Romania. So what is Dallas doing? Referees should be promoted
(demoted) based on performance but it does seem to help with
someone 'pushing a cause' in the background. I wonder if Hugh
Dallas has been spending his time safeguarding Collum's Elite
status but will not need to cut him adrift to support Nick Walsh
