Fans out in force against proposals

HUNDREDS of football fans turned out in Glasgow yesterday to protest against proposals for a new anti-sectarianism bill.

More than 700 people cheered as key speakers from Fans Against Criminalisation called for the bill, currently going through the Scottish Parliament, to be scrapped.

Banners with slogans including “kill the bill” were waved at the mass gathering in the city’s George Square. Organisers of the event said they were delighted with the support, which they say reflected the strength of feeling on the issue.
