Its got nothing to do with a 'god problem' either,most of those singing would hardly set foot in a church i'd bet. Not many do these days. Its about expressing a poisonous attitude and a supremacist mindset towards a section of society and using football as a conduit for it. Its just wrong and it shouldn't be tolerated in this day and age.
How can it having nothing to do with God when the sectarianism is religion based? If everyone in Scotland was of the same mumbojumbo sect there wouldn't be sectarianism. Attendance at Church or a personal belief in God has nothing to do with the ability to dislike or disagree with beliefs of others.

If the fans were faced with their club receiving hefty fines, games behind closed doors, points deductions they would think twice before singing such songs and to an extent the fans would control those trying to start offensive chants........is this going to happen.....very unlikely. It is not feasible for the Police to do much more than they are already doing and so it comes down to the authorities to change...........oh look a pink pig flying past![]()
By the way this is not aimed solely at Rangers but any Club that sings offensive songs to a section of society.
I've yet to hear a club sing. It's generally the fans that do the singing.
