    Steve reflects on the pressures of refereeing in Scotland, addresses being a Celtic fan and why it never impacted his performances, and explains why he was trusted with only one Old Firm match. Des adds his own perspective on the scrutiny, personalities and demands that come with officiating at the highest level.
