Referee chief Crawford Allan has told Scotland’s clubs that match officials are ready for VAR as soon as the SPFL gives them the green light.
And he insisted Premiership clubs should view financing the preferred Hawkeye system, at around £100,000 each, as an investment rather than a cost.
With criticism of officials’ decisions intensifying by the week, Scottish FA head of refereeing operations Allan admits his men in the middle are desperate for VAR to be introduced and revealed that 18 refs and 17 assistants have been training for it over the past 18 months.
