So that game is already decided…
In his career so far, Madden has officiated in a total of 40 Celtic games. Out of those 40, the Hoops have won as many as 32 of those, losing only three times. While refereeing Rangers games, the Gers have lost a total of eight times (as per Transfermarkt).
Over the years, Madden has refereed in quite a lot of Premiership games and it shows that he has a lot of experience of officiating in the division.
Some other Celtic fans also discussed the update about his appointment for the Old Firm.

Does it really matter anymore? Probably 2 of of every 10 games we play won’t have any officials with a connection to ran2ers,
won’t say anything about it so we just need to get on with it.
A majority of these fans are mocking the appointment and feel that it is hardly a surprise.
