Aitken’s absence this weekend is at least curious, there is no reason for him to be taking a holiday, there was an international break over March 22 and 23, next weekend there are only two top flight fixtures, the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.
Typically, Willie Collum was in hiding as the news of Alan Muir’s ‘sacking’ from his VAR role leaked out.As with most Hampden related issues Stephen McGowan had the story, now gracing the pages of The Herald after leaving the Daily Mail. Generally the Daily Mail is among the highest payers…
