VAR will be used in Scottish football for the first time during Hibernian's Scottish Premiership match against St Johnstone next Friday at Easter Road.
It will also be used for the Scottish Cup and League Cup semi-finals and finals.VAR has been used at European games in Scotland, but never in domestic football, although the technology has been operating in the background for a trial period."We have worked extensively over a near three-year period to get to this point, have tested in every Premiership stadium as part of the training process, and we are ready to go," said the Scottish FA's head of referee operations Crawford Allan.

The SPFL's chief operating officer Callum Beattie admitted "implementation will not be straightforward" but says it will "increase the accuracy of refereeing decision-making".
