November 29, 2004 defining sectarianism plans in scotland to tackle bigotry on the terraces seem likely to cause interpretation and implementation difficulties The clubs must do more. Rangers in particular.

Posted by: Panda I am an avid Rangers fan, along with my local Irish League team, Coleraine F.C. (World-Beaters), and Manchester United, who incidentally I went to see play Lyon last week.

Posted by: Donnie being a Celtic supporter i may be biased,however it is the opinions of many outside viewers,Rangers sing more sectarian songs,and their fans are engaged in a far greater number of sectarian attacks on celtic fans after old firm games.i am not saying that Celtic are innocent because they are not.However it is clear Rangers supporters engage in more sectarian activities than their celtic counterparts.
Posted by: CavanMan Don't confuse opinions with facts CavanMan. There was a time when 99% of Christendom believed the earth was Flat.
Posted by: Davros CavanMan, Rangers sing more sectarian songs? At a football match there is no place for this kind of nonsense, but do Celtic not have a few tunes celebrating the "armed struggle"-many would find these as offensive and unnecessary as "The Sash" or "The Billy Boys" Sectarian attacks after Old Firm games? Are there any statistics proving that Rangers fans are particularly more to blame? Would you even say that they are sectarian attacks or just the normal(!) trouble that you get after derby matches in Manchester,London,Newcastle etc.? So I am not defending Rangers( some of the behaviour that I heard about at the two Utd matches last year was completely out of order) I'm just not sure where your proof is coming from that they "engage in more sectarian activities than their Celtic counterparts"
