SCOTTISH football chiefs are 'increasingly confident' that clubs will vote for VAR to be implemented, according to reports.

All 42 SPFL clubs will vote on whether or not to bring in the technology on April 19 after a series of high-profile officiating errors over the course of the campaign.

If successful, VAR will be introduced to the top flight next season once the World Cup in Qatar has concluded.

According to the Daily Mail, SPFL bosses are 'increasingly confident' that clubs will vote in favour of the proposal - while assurances have been made to teams that sponsorship will be found to help cover the cost.

The Mail report that the governing body have promised clubs that they will seek a sponsor for the technology, with the annual running costs estimated to be in the region of £1.4million.

In order for VAR to be introduced, nine Premiership clubs must cast their ballots in favour of the proposal while 15 sides from the Championship, League 1 and League 2 must also vote for the technology to be brought in.

According to a recent report from the BBC, the cost will be determined by league position, with the country's top sides footing a larger share of the bill.

The BBC report claims that the Premiership winners will be asked to cover 16.29 per cent of the cost, while the runners-up will pay 11.67 per cent.
