There are highlights from a match.
Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst supports the introduction of VAR and encouraged officials to review their performances in order to raise levels for the sake of Scottish football.
He thinks it's a normal way. It's the same for me as a coach and my players and I think it's the same for refs.
In the crucial moments of the game, VAR will help them take the right decisions. That will help them.

The introduction of VAR would help improve the quality of refereeing in Scottish football, according to Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
They have to review their own games as well. Maybe see things that could have been done better in the games.
We all make mistakes. You can become a better referee through that process. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I review the decisions I make when I review how my team played.
You have to learn from your mistakes in order to become a better coach, manager or player. I don't see anything bad about that.
Could VAR be introduced in Scotland?
The VAR was successfully used at the Euro 2020.
The Scottish FA and SPFL hosted a meeting in October in which the Scottish Premiership clubs supported the introduction of VAR.
The 2010 World Cup final referee Howard Webb, who addressed the 12 clubs on the benefits of its introduction, revealed the feedback was in favor of the technology which he believes will "enhance" the Scottish game.
A formal proposal over how to introduce VAR in the top flight and at certain cup ties will be finished before being put to an SPFL vote.
What will happen next?
Neil Doncaster hopes VAR will be introduced in the top flight.
As formal plans are drafted before being put to an SPFL vote, the dialogue between all parties will continue.
He said that it would not be an overnight process and that the training and set-up would be required.
What could be done with VAR?
We have seen VAR implemented all over the world, so you might know what to expect.
An extra referee reviewing clear and obvious errors will give officials more support.
Penalties, red cards, goal situations and any case of mistaken identity are only a few of the baselines set out for when a review may take place.
Is there anything different in Scotland?

In October, Howard Webb, a former referee, said all the Scottish clubs were in favor of VAR.
Many fans are frustrated that they don't know what is happening when an incident is being looked at. One day, that could change.
The SPFL and the Scottish FA are looking at ways to let fans communicate with each other.
To make sure as much information as possible is shared, FIFA is reviewing this and looking at other ways to communicate what is happening.
These processes take time and would only be passed after consultation with FIFA - not to mention any pilot projects taking place before that.
There is a debate about where decisions are made. In the MLS there is a VAR team at each stadium, while in the premier league checks are done at a central hub.
What will it cost?
The Scottish FA has offered to cover the training costs for match officials, with the costs being paid by the clubs.
Each of the 12 top-flight sides will have to pay a fee for the technology, with no other SPFL club expected to pay for it.
Are we ready for it?
Space is needed for VAR screens.
Concerns have been raised over the number of cameras at stadiums and the amount of training needed.
The minimum requirements would be met if introduced, with it being understood that non-televised Scottish Premiership games have just four cameras.
If space was an issue, VAR hubs could be located away from grounds.
The MLS has shown that goalline technology can be overcome.
If the VAR is given the go-ahead, Scottish football will be ready, according to the man who implemented it in the United States.
He said that there were some good quality people at the SFA involved in the training and development of the refereeing group who would make sure that when this goes live, the officials will be as trained as they need to be.
I'm really confident that it will be a net positive to the competition when it comes to life in the SPFL.
