Paul Hanlon believes VAR will improve Scottish football as he gets set to take part in the country’s first top-flight match with the system in use.
Easter Road is the venue for the historic event when the home team face St Johnstone on Friday. And the Hibs defender reckons it can only be a benefit to all involved. Hanlon said: “I’m looking forward to it. It’s a helping hand for the referees who come under a lot of pressure with all the big decisions in this country.
“As a centre-half I’m not looking forward to running back as much when it’s a blatant offside. Now I’ll need to run all the way back until the linesman puts his flag up! It might add to my mileage in the game. But at the end of the day if it helps get all the decisions correct then it will be all the better for the game.
