Barry Ferguson has revealed he'd be 'more than happy' if VAR was pulled from use after another weekend of controversial calls in the cinch Premiership.
The former Rangers captain was discussing a selection of VAR decisions from the weekend on Go Radio when he admitted he is growing tired of the technology.
It comes after Andy Walker hit out at a host of VAR calls over the weekend.
Penalties awarded to both sides in the match between Hibs and Celtic were called into question, along with the second yellow for Elie Youan to see him sent off.
Motherwell's loss to Rangers saw controversy emerge over offside calls as well as a red card for Callum Slattery.
Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin was furious after St Mirren were awarded a penalty for an adjudged foul on Curtis Main - and Kilmarnock felt they were denied a stonewall penalty for handball.
For Ferguson, the discussion on decisions after the introduction of VAR is becoming tiresome and he branded the past weekend of actions of having the "worst" decisions.
On the Go Radio Football Show, Ferguson said: "Every Monday we are speaking about it - but this has got to be the worst weekend in terms of decisions.
"I would be more than happy if it was pulled."

Ferguson went on to offer advice to Rangers skipper James Tavernier over his comments in the build-up to matches against Celtic.
The Ibrox captain previously demanded his side improve in the upcoming matches against Celtic in the league and Scottish Cup after defeat in the Viaplay Cup final.
Tavernier had said: “We have to (improve) because we knew the performance in the final wasn’t good enough from our point of view. There is way more to give from us. So, yeah, definitely.”
But Ferguson warned any comments could riled up the opposition as he urged Rangers to keep any remarks in house and do their talking on the pitch.
He said: "I would rather these things are kept in house.
"The way I would go about it is I would try to be respectful. If I was thinking about the cup final, and trying to redeem ourselves, I would just keep it behind closed doors.
"I would just wait until April 8 and make sure to produce a performance to come away from Celtic Park with something. That week leading up to the game you used to go through the papers and look to see if anyone had said anything from the Celtic point of view that would rile you up a wee bit.
"You would be right into the dressing room and say 'he has just said this' to fire you up a wee bit. Sometimes you have got to play it down and do you're talking on the pitch when that whistle goes."
