THE Dutch referee at the centre of a storm in Seville was once named in a MATCH FIXING probe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The youngest referee ever to take charge of an Eredivisie match at the time, Serdar Gozubuyuk was subject of Tartan Army<\/span> fan fury last night after ruling out a Scott McTominay goal for Scotland against Spain.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

That's after he appeared to change his story on why the goal was disallowed – after originally signalling on the night for a 'foul' and awarding a direct free kick.<\/p>\n

Back in 2015, Gozubuyuk was named by a suspect being questioned in an\u00a0investigation into match fixing\u00a0– before being cleared by the Dutch FA<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Dutch newspaper\u00a0Volkskrant\u00a0claimed it had received the file relating to the case against Dutch suspect known as \u2018Paul R.\u2019, who mentioned the referee during a January investigation regarding two 2009 Dutch second tier matches.<\/p>\n

Investigators claimed Gozubuyuk did have contact with 'Paul R', possibly in the clubhouse of VV Young Boys – where 13 people were arrested in connection with illegal poker tournaments in October 2011.<\/p>\n

Gozubuyuk denied all knowledge of 'Paul R' – with an investigation by the Dutch FA for playing late night poker with players\u00a0clearing the whistler.<\/p>\n

He told the paper at the time: "I\u2019m shocked that my name is being mentioned in this context by someone I do not know, and that it is so easy for such a person to inflict damage to someone\u2019s public image."<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is someone I do not want to know. Judge me on my athletic performance, and they have confidence in me, so that\u2019s the only think I am focusing on.<\/p>\n

"To be clear I\u2019ll say it once more: I am clean. It is precisely my role to ensure that the two teams play equally and in a sporting manner.<\/p>\n

"The better that I can do that, the better it is for the game and the public. That is my challenge as a sportsman and my only motive to be a referee."<\/p>\n

The KNVB said: \u201cFor the KNVB there is no question of referee Serdar G\u00f6z\u00fcb\u00fcy\u00fck\u2019s integrity."<\/p>\n

Gozubuyuk was previously branded "absolutely the worst referee in the world".<\/p>\n

Former\u00a0Hull City\u00a0and\u00a0Russia\u00a0boss Leonid Slutsky made the claim after the whistler awarded a penalty to PSV late in a 3-3 draw with his Vitesse team.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn each game in Eredivisie I never think about the referee,\u201d he yelled. \u201cAbsolutely top level,\u00a0Champions League\u00a0level.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe the problem is his attitude towards me – maybe he doesn\u2019t like fat people or bald people. He is like a waiter.<\/p>\n

"Yes, he must be around the game because he is the referee. It is the players who are the most important people here.<\/p>\n

"He thinks he is the most important. Absolutely the worst referee in the world that I have seen in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
