Another strike against sectarianism in Scotland

In Scotland today, The Herald reports that Glasgow Rangers have taken another positive step towards quelling sectarianism and violence in Scottish football. Following up on their three year Pride Over Prejudice campaign, officials from Rangers have issued documents for model football behaviour, not only in Glasgow, but around Scotland:

"Officials from the Ibrox club have sent out a blueprint for a nationwide scheme to deal with sectarianism, racism, and other forms of antisocial behaviour. They want every club in the country to be forced to play a part by ranking clubs on their efforts."

It is always encouraging to see officials from either Old Firm team initiate anti-bigotry campaigns, and hopefully this will result in a drop in regrettable incidents at the next Celtic v. Rangers match. Now if I could only dig up my thoroughly researched term paper for Irish Studies on the subject I'd be a happy man.
