Raith Rovers v Hamilton Accies cup final referee and how many cards he has dished out

Referee Colin Steven will take charge of Sunday's SPFL Trust Trophy Final between Raith Rovers and Hamilton.

And if Accies fans are looking for good omens in their pursuit of the trophy, they have tasted success the one and only time this season the whistler has taken charge of a game involving John Rankin's side.

Steven was the man in the middle when Accies ran out 2-1 winners over Inverness Caley Thistle in a Championship clash on February 21, and he also sent off Jags player Billy McKay late on, showing him a yellow card for simularion in stoppage time and then another moments later for a foul in the dying seconds.

This season, Steven has taken charge of 23 matches across the SPFL and cup competitions - dishing out 88 yellow cards (an average of almost four per game) and five red cards.

He took charge of a 0-0 draw between Raith and Ayr on February 24 and his most recent outing came in Dunfermline's 2-0 win over Alloa on March 4.

Steven will be assisted by Drew Kirkland and Craig Ferguson on Sunday, with Chris Graham the fourth official at the Falkirk Stadium.

Kick-off is 4.15pm and the game will be shown live on BBC Alba.
