Scottish football is set to introduce VAR (Video Assistant Referees) from next season after a vote between clubs resulted in a huge victory for the tech.
The resolution required 75% of cinch Premiership clubs, 75% of clubs in the Championship and 75% of clubs in Leagues 1 and 2 combined to vote in favour of the change.
This has now passed with all but one of the 42 member clubs voting to introduce game-changing tech, which was used for the first time in a domestic Scottish match during a youth game between Hearts and Hamilton recently.
All 12 clubs in Scotland's elite tier offered their support for the proposal ahead of this historic vote.
Every side had their say at a Hampden meeting and thoughts will now turn to its implementation.
Motherwell manager Graham Alexander has been a big advocate for its introduction while other top-flight bosses - like Aberdeen gaffer Jim Goodwin - have also called upon its introduction.
Total costs are anticipated to be in the region of £1.2 million.
Currently, Scotland's top flight is one of the only top-level leagues not using the technology.
Premiership clubs are bearing the cost of its implementation on a sliding scale based on league positioning.
On the current timescale, VAR will be introduced after World Cup 2022 in Qatar this winter.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: "I’m very pleased that we received the necessary 75% votes in the cinch Premiership, the cinch Championship, and cinch Leagues 1 and 2, which enable us to forge ahead with VAR technology next season."
