Referee Serdar Gözübüyük reviews the VAR monitor for a potential penalty for a foul on Rangers' Ryan Kent during a UEFA Europa League match between Rangers and Red Star Belgrade at Ibrox
VAR has been used for European and international matches in Scotland, but not domestic football

It will be the first time that VAR will be used in Scottish football during a game.

The technology will be rolled out that weekend according to the Scottish FA.

The Scottish Cup and League Cup semi-finals and finals will be held there.

It has been approved for use in Scotland by the governing body.

  • Clattenburg warns of VAR 'inconsistencies'

Although VAR has been used at European games in Scotland, it has never been used in the domestic game.

The video operations room is in Glasgow.

Crawford Allan, the Scottish FA's head of referee operations, said that they had worked extensively over the past three years to get to this point.

A higher percentage of on-field refereeing decisions are accurate and that is a principle our match officials support.

All but one of the SPFL clubs voted to approve the use of VAR in the top flight after the World Cup.

What will VAR be used for?

The VAR will only run in the background in certain situations.

  • If there is a straight red card
  • If there is a penalty incident
  • When a goal is scored
  • If there is a case of mistaken identity

The SPFL's chief operating officer said that it will increase the accuracy of refereeing decision making.
