We love Scottish football dearly, but it's been a pain in the VARse at times this year.
2022 finally saw the introduction of the pricey tech designed to help refs and eliminate the big errors that can cost clubs trophies and ensure relegation. Well, it might if it was in place for the start of the season, but this being Scotland, it was rolled out on a random weekend in October and it's only added to the furore surrounding our favourite whistlers.
Ange Postecoglou couldn't care less about it in the build up to the big unveiling. Until it failed to award Celtic a penalty. We've had a camera at Motherwell deciding on an offside and plenty of fairly questionable calls by the eye in the sky. How much have you been paying attention? Probably depends on whether it's gone your team's way or not, or whether you lost interest during a 17 minute check.
It's not been all about microscoping offsides and what on earth constitutes handball in the box, however. The kids have been alright as Premiership clubs continue to fuel teenage dreams, while the old guard are still going strong with more coming back to play on in their twilight years.
As ever, we've lost managers along the way. Gio van Bronckhorst was the highest profile casualty, but further down the leagues, a long-held title was passed after the Jim McInally era finally ended at Peterhead. This Christmas day, see how much you recall from the year gone past in Record Sport's big 2022 quiz.
