Available for 29 days

Are Scottish Premiership teams becoming too open for their own good? Charlotte Cohen is joined by John Walker and Rory Loy to examine the defensive problems facing Hearts, Celtic, St Mirren and Kilmarnock, and ask whether style is being prioritised over results. The enigma of Kasper Høgh is it a question of quality, service or the system around him? Plus, with Sebastien Pocognoli naming his latest Scotland squad, do the players really suit his formation, where does Scott McTominay fit and who should lead the line?
