Scottish Premiership clubs are set to vote on the introduction of VAR "early next year", according to a report.
Top-flight sides attended a meeting earlier in October where the prospect of introducing video referees was well received.
And now the Daily Mail report the country's biggest clubs are expected to back the plans in a formal vote before the end of February.
It's said lower league clubs have been assured the estimated £60,000 yearly cost will be covered entirely by Premiership teams.
VAR could then go live in Scotland after the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The latest development comes following yet more refereeing controversy in midweek.
A number Premiership matches were punctuated by managers hitting out at decisions - including Aberdeen's Stephen Glass and Motherwell boss Graham Alexander.
Glass criticised referee John Beaton, insisting he got two big decisions wrong in their draw with Rangers - including a late penalty which allowed the Ibrox side to take a point.
Alexander, meanwhile, was booked for protesting after Bobby Madden allowed St Mirren's Eamonn Brophy to retake a saved penalty, which he then converted.
