St Johnstone’s Monday night clash with Livingston will be the only Scottish Cup quarter-final without VAR.
Video technology will be operational at Tynecastle, Celtic Park and Pittodrie but Livi and Saints have opted against using it.
Despite the fact it is a live TV game, there is no obligation until the semi-final stage because Livingston are not a top-flight club.
To use VAR in the Scottish Cup there is a £16,000 cost, split between the two clubs.
The match referee in West Lothian will be Don Robertson.
He has been in charge of three Saints games this season – the 5-1 League Cup victory over East Fife, the 6-0 loss to Celtic at McDiarmid Park and the Perth side’s 2-0 defeat to Dundee United.
In the Tannadice match, Adama Sidibeh received two red cards.
Saints haven’t had VAR in their two previous Scottish Cup ties – at home to Motherwell and Hamilton.
It didn’t matter in the end, as Sidibeh scored a later winner to knock Accies out of the competition, but VAR would almost certainly have spotted a handball in the box by one of the visiting defenders, which was missed by referee, Nick Walsh.
