Top-flight clubs in the Scottish Premiership and the SFA are reportedly exploring ways to drive down the cost of VAR amid surging costs.
The Daily Mail state teams are concerned over the price which is expected to cost close to £100,000 to each club per-season, which is significantly more than the original projection of £60,000.
Title challengers Celtic and Rangers are vocal advocates of video replay technology, which is now commonplace in leagues across Europe and in continental competition.
The rising price is causing clubs to "waver", ahead of a looming vote which is expected to take place in the spring.
It is due to the decision to implement six manned cameras at fixtures rather than four fixed cameras.
But it's understood the SFA have proposed to assist with a third of the cost and provided simulators at Hampden for match officials to become familiar with.
A host of high-profile recent incidents have caused fierce debate this season and the belief is VAR can aide referees, as it has elsewhere in world football.
Ross County Roy MacGregor admits clubs must strive for the best deal, however, he fears our game will be left behind if video technology doesn't come to pass.
Speaking to Sportsmail, he said: 'I think it is better for football if VAR comes to pass.
"Clubs have to get the best deal they can, but decision-making will be better for everyone.
"We will fall behind other countries if we don't implement this.
"I don't think it's something we should compromise on. 'I don't know the figures involved, but I think we have to work hard to get the budget right so everyone can live with it because VAR helps the game.
"Referees are part of our game and we want the decision making to be better. 'I don't think we have any option. I think we have got to find the best financial solution we can."
