The 29-year-old will take charge of the 8pm kick-off at The Marbills Coaches Stadium in Paisley, with Scott Anderson and Ross Nelson running the lines.

Experienced official Don Robertson will be on VAR duties, assisted by Gary Hilland.

It will be the second time Lee has refereed Martin O'Neill's side this season, having overseen Celtic's emphatic 5-1 victory away to Kilmarnock in August.

Lee also took charge of one Celtic fixture last term, the Hoops' 3-1 victory over Falkirk at Parkhead on April 25, when he showed just one yellow card.

The official refereed two St Mirren matches last season. He oversaw their 2-1 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox in December before taking charge of their 1-1 draw with Partick Thistle in the second leg of the Premiership play-off final in May.

Saturday's match kicks off at 8pm and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
