SCOTTISH clubs will vote on whether to introduce VAR to the Premiership later this month.
The SPFL has confirmed that a resolution has been circulated to all 42 member clubs, who will be asked to vote on the introduction of the technology at a general meeting.
The vote will take place on Tuesday, April 19.
Should it pass, VAR will be brought into Scotland's top flight mid-season in the 2022/23 campaign.
The SPFL say that the target date for its implementation is by the resumption of the Premiership following a five-week break for the Qatar World Cup.
An official statement reads: "The Scottish Professional Football League can today confirm that there will be a vote on Tuesday 19 April on whether to introduce VAR to the cinch Premiership.
"The SPFL has this afternoon circulated a resolution to all 42 member clubs, who will be asked to vote on its introduction at the SPFL General Meeting on that date.
"The resolution requires 75% of cinch Premiership clubs, 75% of clubs in the cinch Championship and 75% of clubs in cinch Leagues 1 and 2 combined to vote in favour.
"If the resolution is passed, the target implementation date for VAR will be following conclusion of the Qatar World Cup 2022, which takes place between 21 November and 18 December this year."
