D-Day for VAR with SPFL clubs set to cast their vote

SCOTTISH football will find out today if the Premiership is to have the aid of Video Assistant Referees. All 42 SPFL clubs will be asked to vote on VAR’s introduction to the top flight at the SPFL general meeting. The resolution requires 75 per cent of the country’s Premiership clubs, 75 per cent of teams in the Championship and 75 per cent of clubs in

Leagues 1 and 2 combined to vote in favour. If the resolution is passed, VAR could be introduced to the top flight after this year’s World Cup in Qatar, which takes place between November 21 and December 18. The 12 Premiership clubs will reportedly pay between 5.63 per cent and 16.29 per cent each for the new system annually, depending on where they finish in the table.
