The Scottish FA and Referee Operations department would like to congratulate this year’s nominated officials following confirmation from FIFA.
Building on the inclusion of Matthew MacDermid and Chris Rae in 2024, six more officials have been added to the list as Referee and VAR officials. Abbie Hendry and Ross Hardie have been confirmed as FIFA Referees for 2025, alongside John Beaton, Kevin Clancy, Andrew Dallas, and Steven McLean, who have been named Video Match Officials.
These nominations ensure 24 officials are on the FIFA International list for the coming year, highlighting the increasing recognition of Scottish officials on the global stage.
We thank everyone for their dedication and hard work in 2024 and wish the best of luck to all in 2025.
