The xtreme punishments mentioned by Saint Charles Owl r not so far off the mark TBF. Docking of points etc would certainly send out a clear message that the footie aspirations r secondary to an unacceptable social issue such as sectarianism.. I'd bet the relative offending fans would suddenly take notice that they r damaging their own club's aspirations as well as decent fans who'd be peeved eh! Also note SCO down the years other offending fans have been randomly hooked and charged at other Scottish footie stadia re similar sectarian behaviour and banning orders imposed. So why not Ibrox? As said previously, I'd like the Police to investigate and assess the historical stats re apprehension of Rangers fans on similar charges. The Scottish gov applied tougher rules of law covering this hate crime. Scottish gov officials should rightly be interested and proactive in dealing with it, not 'sweeping an intractable problem under the carpet!
