Last updated 1st May 2024
The Scottish FA have announced that officials have given 26 incorrect 'key' decisions so far this season, even with the use of Video Assistant Referees (VAR).
Decisions in the Scottish Premiership have been reviewed by an independent panel, compiled of former players, managers and coaches, to consider Key Match Incidents (KMIs).
The panel decided 26 KMIs reached an incorrect outcome since the start of the campaign.
There have been a total of 1181 VAR reviews so far this season.
The Scottish FA say 90.3% of on-field decisions are considered correct, which is increased to 97.8% when including VAR interventions.
The technology has intervened 76 times, leading to on-field reviews.
The Scottish FA Referee Operations shared these statistics with top-flight clubs on Wednesday morning to update on the performance of VAR across the country.
