Reports from the Daily Express state Celtic and Rangers have been 'driving the calls for the technology to be brought in.' Motherwell manager Graham Alexander has called for VAR on more than one occasion this season and its use could have been key in Sunday's Scottish Cup quarter-final loss to Hibs.Bevis Mugabi was sent off inside a minute for a challenge on Josh Doig but teammate Jordan Roberts' similar collision with Drey Wright only merited a yellow minutes later.Hawk-Eye have started recruitment in Scotland for a video replay operator with a start date of between April and October this year.Some Premiership clubs are reported to be unhappy at the six-figure costs of bringing in VAR and it's not known when they system will be ready in Scotland.Referees are already being trained for when it does arrived, but it's thought that it won't be ready until after the Qatar World Cup in December.Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
