Scottish Premiership: Review panel say three VAR decisions incorrect
- Published
This is the first full season with VAR in the Scottish Premiership
Three decisions have been deemed incorrect by the Scottish FA's VAR independent review panel in the first round of Premiership fixtures.
A red card for Dundee's Josh Mulligan and the Tayside club's disallowed goal at Livingston were considered errors.
A double-hit penalty from Aberdeen's Bojan Miovski should not have stood.
While there have been 407 VAR checks this season, 24 of which led to on-field reviews, it is unclear how many incidents the IRP reviewed.
The panel, made up of former players, managers and coaches, was set up by the Scottish FA for the first full campaign with the video technology in place.
The 12 Premiership clubs held a meeting with the SFA's referees department on Thursday to review the performance of VAR.
Audio of conversations between match officials and the VAR control room was relayed, while explanations were given on how key incidents were dealt with.
Miovski's spot-kick equaliser against St Mirren came in the 10th minute of stoppage time in Paisley on 27 August.
Mulligan was sent off for a challenge on Kilmarnock's Danny Armstrong in a 2-2 draw at Dens Park on 23 September.
Video assistant referee Euan Anderson asked David Munro to review the incident but the referee stuck by his original decision. Dundee subsequently failed to overturn the red card following an appeal.
The IRP also felt Dundee were hard done by when an Amadou Bakayoko effort was disallowed in a 2-0 win at Livingston on 28 October.
On that occasion, referee Willie Collum reviewed footage and decided at least one offside Dundee player was interfering with play.
