There isn’t a sectarian problem in Scottish football. There’s a Rangers problem. And the Tories are part of that milieu.

Respect my existence or expect my resistance
In my experience it's really only Rangers that causes the issues.
I watched them play Berwick a few years back and some twunt got about six words of a sectarian song out in the family area before a local turned to him and roared 'we'll hae nane of yer sectarian shite here, laddie'. The singer slunk off in shame.
The worst thing about Celtic and Hibs matches was the collection tin being passed round.

That is not true. The bill was designed to rid 'offensive behaviour' from football and only football grounds. By the way there was a repeated refusal to say what constituted offensive behaviour and in the law it was the police who decided what was/wasn't offensive. There was also no need for a complaint to be made, the police simple had the legal right to decide that someone was offended and that was enough to charge someone. Offensive behaviour could would and did include 'offensively blessing yourself as described and demanded by Roseanna Cunningham MSP, calling someone at the football baldy, as asked for by Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins who is now in a leading position to police the COP26 protests. For, singing a national anthem not liked and deemed offensive by others aggressively, singing songs that were in the charts. A number of fans were also arrested for having a banner against the law as that was deemed by the police to be offensive.
Along with other fans I was involved in the campaign to repeal the bill, I was arrested under that bill and over 4 years later am still on bail awaiting trial,the only bill to ever be repealed in the Scottish Parliament. The campaign was led by football fans, mainly and predominantly left wing fans. The Tories along with the other 3 opposition parties voted to repeal. The law was the first in the Scottish Parliament to have been introduced with the support of 1 single party the SNP, all opposition parties opposed it. It was criticised by all human rights groups, the Law Society, The Glasgow Bar, the RC church and church of Scotland.
