The cinch Premiership welcomed the introduction of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) in October 2022, after nearly three years of planning, development and testing.
VAR will also be used for all Scottish Cup and Premier Sports Cup semi-finals and finals played at Hampden Park.
Dedicated VARs – operating from the centralised Clydesdale House base – will assist on-field referees in the event of a clear and obvious error, or a serious missed incident in relation to goals, mistaken identity, penalty area incidents and straight red cards.
