SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell believes the introduction of VAR to the Scottish Premiership has been a success and insists the World Cup has underlined issues with video technology are a global issue.
St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson became the latest figure to hit out at the "joke" handball rule that's leading to more penalty awards than before the technology was in use. Ange Postecoglou has also been vocal over fears it's taking match officials too long to reach a conclusion once incidents are escalated by the VAR referees. But Maxwell reckons VAR is doing what it's meant to do and that the statistics back that up. And he thinks things will only get better once the top flight exits cold storage after the Qatar showpiece.
He told Sky Sports: "It's done what it's supposed to do. We had a call with managers and chief executives from the Premiership yesterday and gave them some feedback. When you analyse the statistics, VAR across the world has taken the number of correct decisions from 92 per cent to 98 per cent and that's exactly where Scotland is.
