Robbie Neilson warns officials they need to iron out VAR problems before novelty wears off

HEARTS manager Robbie Neilson doesn’t understand why VAR decisions took so long in his side’s loss to Celtic, saying he hopes that Scottish officials can quickly iron out the flaws in the system.

Neilson was particularly puzzled as to why it took so long to award Hearts their first penalty of the afternoon after Cameron Carter-Vickers had taken out Cammy Devlin in the box, and he fears that the technology may make the on-field officials less likely to make key decisions.

And if there continues to be such stoppages in matches, he believes that the novelty will very quickly wear off.
