Celtic fans will enjoy a VAR rule change that La Liga is set to introduce this season.
Earlier today, Willie Collum threw out some VAR rule changes the SFA are considering after having discussions with Celtic and other Scottish clubs this summer.
The Head of Referees wants to have officials mic’d up so that they can communicate their VAR decision whilst at the VAR monitor.
Collum also said he wants to introduce goal line technology in moves that will surely leave Celtic fans please.
However, La Liga are set to make their own changes to the video refereeing system and it’s one that Celtic supporters may believe tops the SFA’s proposals.

The Spanish football authorities are looking to introduce the new rule change into the Women’s La Liga F and what they are planning will appeal to many football fans.
As posted on X by El Partidazo de COPE, the rule changes are as follows:
- ‘Low cost’ VAR (FVS) approved in 1ª RFEF for this season
- 📺 The referee will review upon coaches’ request
- 2⃣ Reviews per team; if correct, they keep them
- 📅 In Liga F, it could be approved this week
What Willie Collum discussed with Celtic about VAR
Collum was pretty excited about the VAR changes that are being proposed that could start as early as this season.
The SFA man said, “We’ve certainly been speaking to the clubs about other aspects of technology, goal-line technology being one of them.
“We’ve also been speaking to the clubs about in-stadium comms. The decisions are financial. We need the clubs to make those decisions.
“I would have open arms to any of these. We would certainly embrace them. But we won’t use a lack of something as an excuse for anything. We’ll do the best we can with the resources we have got.”
