Scotland is getting its house in order as First Minister Alex Salmond teamed up with the 12 Scottish Premier League clubs to launch Kick-Out Bigotry.But it is an issue that doesn't go down well with some.
A Celtic supporters' chief has sparked fury after she defended the singing of IRA songs by fans.
Jeanette Findlay, chair of the Celtic Trust, said that chants about terrorists had a historical basis.
But the club distanced itself from her comments, saying they were "totally unrepresentative of the Celtic support".
The row erupted after Dr Findlay spoke on BBC Radio 5 Live's breakfast programme on Tuesday.
She said: "The club was founded to help the poor of the Irish immigrants to Scotland.
"Many of the supporters are descendants of these people.
"They may take a particular view of history, what happened in Ireland, which is different to many other people. So I don't call those pro-terrorist songs."
She also said that her organisation opposed the appointment of John Reid as Celtic chairman because of the former Cabinet Minister's role during the war in Iraq.
Her comments came on the day that the latest football anti-bigotry initiative was launched at Hampden.
Celtic said they were extremely disappointed at Dr Findlay's comments.
A club spokesman said: "These comments are totally unrepresentative of the Celtic support.
"There are around 27,500 Celtic shareholders, we believe that Ms Findlay claims to speak for only around 200 of these - a very, very small minority - as the 99.1% vote in favour of Dr Reid's appointment as chairman clearly underlines.
"We are sure, given the nature of her comments, she is presenting her own opinion and not that of the Celtic Trust.
"We are delighted with the way in which our fans currently support the team."
