Scotland on Sunday reports that many arrests were made in advance of the final Old Firm match of the season, of online bigots. Police have been raiding homes of people who are using online forums to vent bigoted views in a bid to quell trouble around the game.
As a result of rising advertising prices, The Sunday Times reports that AutoTrader faces desertion from its car dealers using its website to promote their car sales.
