Has there been demand yet for the faceless UEFA fenians to be named so the whereabouts of their windaes can be determined?

A little. Apparently it was our ex director Gary O’Hagan who was the UEFA observer who reported it...

On a point of vague interest, what happens to the folk who have bought tickets in the parts of the stadium that’s going to be closed?

Rangers will either refund them or say hard lines, nae refunds. It's up to them.

How is it a UEFA match delegate can hear sectarian singing at a midweek Euro tie, but when the exact same songbook is sung on a Saturday/Sunday, the entirety of the Police Scotland, the SPFL, the SFA and the match officials on duty are suddenly deaf to it?

Strict liability. In UEFA competitions clubs are held directly responsible for the behaviour of fans, something which isn't in operation in the domestic game. THE SFL/SFA should bring it in; pleading with the bigots to stop will never work.

[Jim44]

Rob McLean apologising to TV viewers for the bad language picked up from the spectators. Never a word of apology for the vile chanting of ugly sister supporters. You get the impression they are frightened to comment on sectarian singing. You never know, they might actually enjoy it.

Which just makes a mockery of the whole thing with regard to the merits of Strict Liability in the domestic game.

UEFA game > sectarian singing > UEFA issues sanction(s) > singing stops or club ejected (same effect)

SFA game > sectarian singing > SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues >SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues > SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues > SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues > SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues > SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues > SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues > SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues > SFA do nothing > sectarian singing continues ......(ie current situation we endure today)

Makes the case for Strict Liability in Scotland compelling.

Ok, strict liability protects the clubs from any punishment and so it continues with nothing really being said about it. How about the TV companies, instead of shrinking away from the issue, turn their microphones to full volume on the muppet chanting and shame the clubs and authorities into growing a pair and taking steps to deal with it. At the end of the day, however, the truth is that bigotry and sectarianism is the lifeblood of both teams and the football authorities bow to it and, perversely, see it as a strength in the Scottish game. Celtic and Sevco without bigotry is bad box office for the Scottish game in their eyes.

It’s a fair point though.

I don’t even know how rangers can stop it. They can’t ban their whole fan base, can they?

The only solution that I see would be a points deduction but even that would be a nightmare to enforce.

In an ideal world, what do we want the SFA or SPFL to do about it?

[Fife-Hibee]

We used to have a law in Scotland that punished fans for sectarian singing, or at least acted as a deterrent towards it. Until one particular group of people (heavily reliant on the support of bigots) did everything they could to repeal it.

Now this is where we are.

Make them play behind closed doors. It would only have to happen once or twice, sevco would start self policing due to the lost revenue.

Money lost to the game in that case. Better to fine them entire gate receipts and give money to grass roots football.

[Sylar]

I've no idea if their songbook got an airing or not last night - such was the cacophonous atmosphere the Legia fans created inside their ground. It was quite something to behold!

[kaimendhibs]

SFA and SPFL should be ashamed. They are complicit
