Scottish referees are at the centre of a worldwide experiment that could revolutionise how matches are officiated.

At the European Under-19 qualifiers in Cyprus, a team of officials from Scotland have been involved in a trial with two additional referees, one behind each goal.

BBC Scotland's Martin Dowden reports with interviews from former ref Hugh Dallas and Uefa general secretary David Taylor.

Hey, there's worse than Scottish refs (who are, by the way, renowned for their good looks, charm, wit, personality and common sense). You don't get this at Wakefield park too often:

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
