| Melrose scored (41) with a diving header. With Houston lying injured (and playing the forward on-side) the ref blew for off-side. Thistle stopped but Hibs “scored”.

Scottish referees have a rich history in international football, with the very best ranking amongst the world's greatest officials. Drew Herbertson's new book tells their long overdue story, providing biographies of all the Scots who have handled international matches. From the early pioneers when international football first started in 1872 through to the current FIFA list, “Scotland's International Football Referees” commemorates their careers and is a tribute to their achievements.
