The Scottish FA have not asked UEFA to release the VAR audio from Thursday night's loss to Spain - simply because they didn't think they would get it.

Scotland lost 2-0 in Seville as Spain cut the gap at the top of Group A to just three points as both sides aim to qualify for next summer's European champions.

But the result came in highly controversial fashion during the second half of the match.

Scott McTominay hit a sensational free-kick into the far right corner of Unai Simon's goal to give the Scots the lead. The travelling support went wild as the ball flew into the net. 

However, after a few minutes, VAR advised referee Serdar Gozubuyuk to check the goal. Initially, this was for a foul by Jack Hendry on the goalkeeper, but later on in the evening, UEFA confirmed the decision to disallow to goal was actually because of an offside.

Yesterday, the SFA opted to seek answers from UEFA over exactly why McTominay's strike was chopped off.

But president Mike Mulraney, who revealed they are still waiting for a response from the governing body, says they stopped short of asking for the audio.

Asked on BBC Sportsound if they requested the VAR audio, he responded: "Part of the reason we've not asked for the audio is that we probably wouldn't have got it. As for audio disclosure, I think there's a process going on in football with VAR and in my opinion, one day we'll see audio being released.

"We're on a learning curve with VAR. Scotland's only one year into it, we've seen other nations very close by who have had major controversies many years into it. We've got a process, we think we're getting there and improving.

"There's always going to be human error, whether you're playing it or refereeing it. VAR reduces the probability significantly. It's a process but we'll get better as it develops. But I think we will get to a point where it is released."
