It has everything to do with VAR, I was told this by a ref who is not elite level, but knows a current SPL ref very well.When was the last time a Scottish referee officiated at either the Euros or the WC?
Little to do with VAR,in my opinion.

I believe a number of scottish refs will look to assist Celtic and help them get that title back. I also think that will be the view in the Rangers dressing room ofcourse that will be something the manager uses to motivate his players.Too busy planning the grand conspiracy of the 2021/22 according to some trumpets on here.
Or maybe they are just quite sh*te.
I would imagine uefa send referee assessors to watch our refs and probably in the big games. Watching Aberdeen players kick lumps out of our players without punishment and watching Clancy type performances in Old Firm games is not a good advert for Scots refs, even if big Peter of Uefa is putting in a good word.In all honesty, setting aside bias conspiracy etc, our referees are not good and incredibly inconsistent. I genuinely can’t think who could be put forward and pass any kind of performance scrutiny. I can’t imagine UEFA pick names out of a hat.
The lack of VAR intruding has been great. Seems that they're allowing the referee to run the game rather than constantly interrupting play for every stupid little mistake.The games I've watched the ref has rarely had to go to review VAR.
Wonder if that's been an intentional move for this tournament.
Well put - that’s what i was trying to say clumsilyI would imagine uefa send referee assessors to watch our refs and probably in the big games.

bobby madden gave up his job to ref at last oneThomson was there in 2012 and am sure there was a scottish ref at the last euros in 2016 gollium maybe ?
The only exposure these guys have to var is in Europe and even then they haven't been that involved because of the lack of var.
