Steve Conroy (born 21 December 1966) is a former Scottish football referee.
Refereeing career
Conroy became a referee in 1993 and was admitted to the SFA list five years later. He is a regular referee in the Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League. He is also trained as a medical doctor and currently practices as a General Practitioner.
In March 2007, Conroy was the official for a SPL match between Hearts and Aberdeen. He sent off Hearts player Laryea Kingston, who reacted by calling Conroy a racist. Conroy reported Kingston to the Scottish FA and Kingston received a 3 game ban.
Conroy took charge of his first Old Firm (Rangers vs Celtic) game on 3 January 2010.
On 3 December 2011, Conroy awarded a penalty to Rangers in their home game against Dunfermline. Sone Aluko, who won the penalty, was subsequently given a two-match ban for 'simulation'. Conroy was subsequently assigned to referee lower division matches and opted to retire in March 2012.
