What about closing a particular portion of the offending club's ground for a set number of games? The proportion to be closed could be determined by the number of transgressions, the severity of the offence and the extent to which that particular ground is generally filled.
It could be left to the club to decide which part of the ground is closed - although closing space for away supporters couldn't be allowed.

The fans would have to behave or they would lose out as well as their club.
The potential for "militant" groups to hold their club to ransom would be removed.

Sectarianism just isn’t discussed and it’s not a widespread problem in society anymore.
Think about the big issues like Independance, Brexit, Trump, even the Royal Wedding. All of these things got discussed in the workplace or round the dinner table up and down the country.
Does anyone ever sit and discuss the problems between Catholics and Protestants in West Central Scotland?!
It’s just not an issue like it used to be.
You simply don’t get people being refused employment because of their religion or promotions in the workplace or whatever. If anything, that’s probably moved over to those with a surname of Ali rather than O’Malley.
All these basic rights are covered by numerous laws now and unions over the years have ensured that that kinda crap can’t go on nowadays.
So now we have the Old Firm, a few dodgy pubs and clubs and the marches / parades.
Is a bit of singing at the football really so bad that we want people locked up for it?
I’d much rather finish above Rangers in the league because we were better than them instead of it being down to them having points deducted due to the actions of their fans.

Just an example of tribal mentality and going along with things that have always been done, without actively thinking about them.
