List of all VAR errors with Hearts, Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen and other clubs involved

The system saw a rapid rise in mistakes during the second round of Premiership games

The Scottish Football Association's independent review panel have confirmed 13 VAR errors during the second round of this season's Premiership matches, compared with just three mistakes in the first round of fixtures.

Games involving Hearts, Celtic, Rangers, Livingston, Kilmarnock, Dundee, Aberdeen, Ross County and St Johnstone were all listed as ones in which wrong decisions were made by the video review system. The increase from three mistakes to 13 represents a rise in errors of more than 300 per cent.

Four of those 13 instances involve Hearts and are detailed in the latest list of errors:

Motherwell v Hearts (11 November, 2023): VAR was correct to recommend an on-field review for a potential penalty for Hearts striker Liam Boyce at Fir Park. The decision should then have been to award a penalty. 

Livingston v Rangers (12 November, 2023): VAR should have recommended an on-field review after Rangers midfielder Ross McCausland was awarded a penalty. The decision should then have been not to award the penalty.

Kilmarnock v Hearts (2 December, 2023): VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a potential red card for Kilmarnock defender Will Dennis. The decision should have been a red card. 

Motherwell v Dundee (2 December, 2023): VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a foul in the build-up to a goal by Motherwell’s Bevis Mugabi. The decision should have been to disallow the goal. 

Aberdeen v Kilmarnock (6 December, 2023): VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a potential red card for Kilmarnock forward Marley Watkins. The decision should have been a red card. 

Rangers v Dundee (9 December, 2023): VAR should not have recommended an on-field review for a penalty after a foul on Rangers forward Abdallah Sima. The on-field decision that there was no penalty should have stood.

Rangers v Dundee (9 December, 2023): VAR should not have recommended an on-field review after Rangers midfielder Jose Cifuentes was awarded a yellow card. The on-field decision to issue a yellow card should have stood. 

Aberdeen v Hearts (9 December, 2023): VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a potential red card for Hearts midfielder Beni Baningime. The decision should have been a red card.

Celtic v Rangers (30 December, 2023): VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a potential penalty for a handball offence by Celtic defender Alastair Johnston. The panel noted an offside in the build-up, therefore the decision should have remained to not award the penalty. 

Hearts v Ross County (30 December, 2023): VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a penalty for a foul on Hearts winger Alan Forrest. The decision should have been to award a penalty.

Rangers v Kilmarnock (2 January, 2024): VAR should not have recommended an on-field review for a penalty for a handball offence against Rangers defender John Souttar. The on-field decision to not award a penalty should have stood. 

St Johnstone v Aberdeen (24 January, 2024): VAR should not have recommended an on-field review for a potential foul in the build-up to midfielder Graham Carey’s goal for St Johnstone. The on-field decision to award a goal should have stood. 

Livingston v Dundee (27 January, 2024): VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a potential foul in the build-up to striker Zach Robinson’s goal for Dundee. The decision should have been to disallow the goal.
