Guardian Focus podcast: Scottish sectarianism

Last week, Celtic's Catholic manager Neil Lennon was attacked by a spectator during a match against Hearts. It was the latest in a series of sectarian incidents against high profile Catholics in Scotland – and a powerful wake up call to the Scottish authorities. But just how much of a problem is sectarianism? And what needs to happen to eradicate it?

Hugh Muir explores the reasons for this apparent upsurge in religious hatred. He is joined by Bob Doris MSP for Glasgow, Peter Kearney the spokesman for Cardinal Keith O'Brien, and Tom Gallagher Professor of the Study of Ethnic Conflict and Peace at Bradford University.
