The new Head of Refereeing at the Scottish FA could be a former Premier League ref, according to a report.

Crawford Allan will step down from his role at the SFA this summer upon completion of the domestic season.

The long-serving member of staff at Hampden will depart after the Scottish Cup final, with an announcement made on his future made weeks ago. He is leaving to 'pursue other opportunities'. 

Now, the Scottish Sun claims that ex-EPL whistler Jon Moss is in the frame to take over from Allan.

The 53-year-old is described as the 'leading candidate' to be the next referee chief at the SFA.

He enjoyed 23 years as a referee in England, with 11 of those seasons coming in the Premier League. 

He also experienced big occasions, such as the 2015 FA Cup final.

He retired two years ago and took up a job as Select Group 1 Manager with England’s Professional Game Match Officials Board.

Moss left that role in March earlier this year, but it's said he's keen to stay in football, and so, taking over from Allan in Scotland appeals.

Meanwhile, Elena Sadiku has told Rangers head coach Jo Potter to keep talking, but it won’t have any effect on Celtic.

Rangers women’s boss was unhappy with her Celtic counterparts during the Scottish Cup semi-final encounter between the teams last Saturday afternoon at Hampden.

The game finished 2-0 to the Ibrox club, however, one of the major talking points from the occasion at the national stadium was the length of time taken by Celtic’s starting XI over their traditional pre-match huddle.

The referee's whistle was ignored, as Potter fumed over a delay to the start of the match. She said post-match: "It doesn't surprise me... when you've got to use tactics like that it says more about your mindset."
