The Green Brigade supporters’ group has reacted angrily after police denied dozens of fans entry to the Old Firm Premiership game between Celtic and Rangers at Parkhead.

We ask Tino from ‘The Celtic Review’ podcast whether the policing of football matches is heavy-handed. And the BBC’s Chris McLaughlin tells us how the growth of so-called ‘ultra’ fan groups has influenced police tactics.

And Martin and Laura discuss the Scottish Government's commitment to free university tuition.

Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
