The Latics get the Ryan Lowe show on the road on Saturday, a trip to South London to face promotion chasing Charlton Athletic at the Valley, the referee for the match will be Oxfordshire official, Graham Scott.
The, 57 year old has been a Football League referee since 2008 and a Select Group 1 official since 2015. Since becoming a Football League ref, Scott has been in charge of close on 500 games, but surprisingly none have come this season!
In fact I was under the impression that the seasoned official had hung up his whistle and retired, but apparently not, he had a run out in a reserve game last weekend and is now all set to take charge of the battle of the Athletics down in SE7.
Last campaign - 2034/24 – Graham Scott took charge of 22 games, 6 of which were in the Premier League and 11 in the Championship, and he appeared to bow out of refereeing on May 19th at Turf Moor on the final day of the season as Forest beat Burnley 1:2. But he’s back!
Previous Games
Scott has taken charge of four Latics’ games previously, all have come in the Championship, two away days in the 2013/14 season, the first of these saw a controversial red card for Callum McManaman on 59 minutes, the last time he was in charge of a Latics game it ended in a 1:1 draw, away at Watford in March 2023, James McClean on the scoresheet and Max Power, Omar Rekik, Daniel Sinani and Tendayi Darikwa picking up yellows.
