Mark Wilson reckons VAR could do with the same transparency provided as TMO in rugby.
The pundit has suggested that the audio communication broadcast between rugby referees and the television match officials would be a good way of eliminating some controversies surrounding video technology in football.
Wilson believes Scottish football has a "concerning" issue when it comes to the standard of officiating.
It comes after Rangers' opening goal against Livingston in the Viaplay Cup on Wednesday night. The match ended 4-0 to Michael Beale's side, but the first goal of the match has sparked widespread debate.
Abdallah Sima appeared to push Livi's Jamie Brandon to the deck as he attempted to win the ball on the left flank.
After the attacker broke free of the defender, the on-loan Brighton player went on to score with a terrific finish from a tight angle.
Willie Collum did not award a foul for the incident, while VAR opted not to get involved.
Since the game, while Rangers were worthy winners and rightly progressed to the semi-finals of the League Cup, the general consensus has been that there was a foul in the build-up to that goal.
Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard last night, Wilson responded to a caller who suggested supporters should be allowed the opportunity to listen to the officials' rationale behind their decision-making.
The former Celtic defender said: "I don't think you'll find many people out there who think it wasn't a free-kick. It's as clear as you could see.
"It's concerning that something as obvious as that isn't picked up with the amount of officials on the field and VAR to review it. For clarity, I love it (the idea of audio from the VAR truck)."
Host Gordon Duncan came in: "If you get to hear a clip of the referees suggesting Collum can stand by the decision, would that satisfy you?"
Wilson added: "It would allow me to think with a clear head that those officials weren't fit for their job.
"But because I don't know what that conversation consisted of last night I've no idea if Willie Collum overruled or it was looked at. If every one of them said it's not a foul, we've got bigger problems in our game and that would clarify that.
"Other decisions I think it would clear things up for the football fan and give maybe a better understanding the tough job referees have got. Wednesday night's decision I'd look and think we've got a problem."
