Genuine question that I don't know the answer to, is singing sectarian songs against the law in Scotland??  If it is then the police can make arrests, but if not is there actually anything they can do about this?

I am not sure what else a football club can do, and let's not make the solution just about Rangers, but if you use cctv to prosecute fans realistically how many of those arrests will see a court?  Sure a club can ban any fan found guilty but we shouldn't see wholesale bans on accusations.  To me the only way this will stop is if fan peer pressure is used to first of all not join in the songs but more importantly to shout down or ostracise the offenders but I think the only way this will happen is if the offending club is either fined, docked points or forced to play games behind closed doors or with stands shut.  Irrespective of which team is guilty of this, the fans are really the only ones who can eradicate it as they are ultimately the perpetrators as well.

Easy answer to most of the comments in your thread Saint Charles Owl - Where there's a will, there's a way to effectively deal with it! It's a hate crime, and our current laws state that very fact and the action that should be taken to deal with it - it's no different from racism!!
Also I notice our resident sectarian bigot has 'arrived on the scene again' and deflected away from the issue to making stupid remarks/insinuations re other football clubs and the way they practise! Juvenile generalised drivel as usual and I'm very surprised to see any poster giving this nut job any response whatsoever - don't be foolish and stick to a strict policy of isolation!!
