GEORGE BURLEY has no concerns about referee Laurent Duhamel officiating this month's clash with Holland - despite him being banned from top-flight matches in France.
Duhamel has been told to take a break by his own association before returning at lower league level after failing to send off two Paris St Germain players, who will now be punished retrospectively.
SFA chief executive Gordon Smith may consider asking Fifa for a different referee but Burley has no problem with Duhamel taking charge of the match.
"Fifa will decide who will be the referee and we can't influence it," said Burley. "I'm sure whoever is in charge will perform to the best of his ability. We are certainly not worrying about it.
"I'm sure the refereeing committee will take everything into consideration and choose the right one from there."
