SLOVENIAN VINCIC TO REFEREE GALATASARAY V FENERBAHCE

Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic has been appointed for the Istanbul derby between Turkey’s title rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.

The 45-year-old has been drafted in by the Turkish Football Federation for Monday’s top-of-the-table fixture after a request from both clubs.

The decision to use the official who took charge of last season’s Champions League final follows several controversies in Turkish football over the past 18 months.
