Premiership clubs set to vote VAR in at crucial vote as unanimous manager support paves way for green light

SPFL clubs are expected to back VAR in a decisive vote and pave the way for video assistant referees in Scottish football.

For VAR to get the green light it requires 75 per cent of the Premiership, 75 per cent of the Championship and also three-quarters of League One and Two combined to vote in favour.
