Congratulations to 6 of our members who have received mid-season promotions following the Referee Committee meeting on Sunday. \u26bd\ufe0f Dan McFarlane has been re-classified to Category 1M Select, the highest referee category in male Domestic Football. He will now regularly officiate in the SPFL Premiership and Championship, following his Premiership debut earlier this season. ? Olivia Crawford and Ewan Pow have been re-classified to Category 3M and Category 1W. This means they will be eligible to referee the Highland League and Scottish Women\u2019s Premier League, and act as assistant referees in the SPFL Championship, League 1 and League 2. ? Paulina Ruszniak has been added to the National List of Referees as a Category 3M Development Referee. This is the start of the national pathway for referees and is a reflection of the hard work and effort put in to get to this stage. ? James Coull and Keith Noble have been re-classified to Category 4M Dev and Category 2W. These are highest category of grassroots referees outside of the National List, and will allow them to officiate in the North Region Junior Premier League along with acting as assistant referees in the Highland League and Scottish Women\u2019s Premier League. ? James and Keith\u2019s first set of appointments will be of the international variety, as they head to Qatar next week to referee, as part of our continued commitment to referee development at all levels. Congratulations to all of our members, and good luck for the second half of the season!?\u26bd\ufe0f <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2b06\ufe0f?MID-SEASON PROMOTIONS\u2b06\ufe0f?
