Scottish referee Willie Collum has been assigned to the Champions League match between Juventus and Valencia.

It kicks off in Turin on Tuesday at 20.00 GMT.

The Bianconeri are on the verge of qualification, but suffered a setback with the shock 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United, a game they had largely dominated.

It’ll also be a chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to make up for his bizarre red card in the last meeting at the Mestalla, even though 10-man Juve went on to win 1-0.

It’ll also be a chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to make up for his bizarre red card in the last meeting at the Mestalla, even though 10-man Juve went on to win 1-0.

Collum will be assisted by David McGeachie, Graeme Stewart, additional referees Andrew Dallas and Nicholas Walsh, with Francis Connor as the Fourth Official.

The 39-year-old Scotsman already officiated Italy’s 1-0 Nations League defeat to Portugal in September.

His record with Italian teams at club and international level is of six wins, four draws and six defeats.

Juve are unbeaten with Collum, winning 1-0 against Sturm Graz and Olympique Lyonnais, but drawing 0-0 with both Atletico Madrid and Monaco.

His Spanish tally is 11 victories, eight draws and only three losses.

Collum’s only Valencia precedent is a 1-1 Europa League draw away to PSV Eindhoven in March 2012, which saw Adil Rami sent off for the Spaniards.
