Ally McCoist says VAR should be scrapped, arguing that Scottish football is being undermined by officiating decisions linked to video assistant referee technology. Both outlets report that his comments come in the wake of a controversial VAR incident around Celtic’s late winner against Motherwell. The dispute is described as significant, with broadcaster Gary Lineker characterising it as potentially the worst VAR decision he has seen. McCoist’s broader criticism is directed at the standard and impact of VAR calls in Scotland, which he says have become a recurring issue. The reporting reflects that the controversy has drawn high-profile attention beyond Scottish football, adding to calls from some figures for changes to the system. Neither outlet provides new institutional decisions or official responses within the reports provided, but they both frame McCoist’s position as a direct reaction to the specific match incident and the wider debate over VAR’s effectiveness in the league.
