SPFL Premiership clubs learn VAR situation as crucial vote to decide technology's fate

Scottish Premiership clubs will vote later this month on whether or not to introduce VAR to the league.

All 42 clubs across the SPFL will be asked to voted on its introduction at a general meeting on April 19th.

The total costing and technical information will be provided to clubs in advance of the vote.

If this vote passes, it will be introduced after the Qatar World Cup 2022, which ends on December 18th.

A statement reads: "The Scottish Professional Football League can today confirm that there will be a vote on 19 April on whether to introduce VAR to the cinch Premiership.

"The SPFL has this afternoon circulated a resolution to all 42 member clubs, who will be asked to vote on its introduction at the SPFL General Meeting on that date.

"The resolution requires 75 % of cinch Premiership clubs, 75 % of clubs in the cinch Championship and 75% of clubs in cinch Leagues 1 and 2 combined to vote in favour.

"If the resolution is passed, the target implementation date for VAR will be following conclusion of the Qatar World Cup 2022, which takes place between 21 November and 18 December this year."
