I don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute news at the moment. Here’s a quick summary of recent coverage I can verify:
- Multiple outlets in mid-2025 reported on John Beaton being involved in refereeing-related controversies in Scottish football, including discussions about decisions in high-profile matches and subsequent scrutiny from media and fans.[1][2]
- Coverage also notes Beaton’s ongoing role as a top-level Scottish referee and occasional involvement in disciplinary or governance matters within the Scottish FA framework.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can perform a fresh web search to pull the very latest stories and provide direct links and brief summaries.
