Gavin Harris will come under the spotlight again after being selected as referee's assitant for Sunday's Scottish Cup quarter-final between Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Dundee United.
Harris was the centre of attention after the United attacker Nadir Ciftci was deemed to have grabbed him by the throat when the clubs met in a stormy League Cup quarter-final in October. Ciftci was sent off by referee Kevin Clancy and Inverness went on to win the game 2-1 after extra-time.
The Turkish player was initially cited for "seizing" Harris but the charge was later amended at an SFA Disciplinary Tribunal to "placing an open hand into the lower area of the assistant referee's throat".
Ciftci faced a 10-match ban following the controversial match but in the end was given a two-game suspension.
Willie Collum will take charge of Sunday's tie.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
