Football abuse, bigotry and hooliganism are disgraceful stains on our national sport and our country's reputation at home and abroad. No one should be subjected to intolerance, prejudice or violence in 21st Century Scotland.

The introduction of Football Banning Orders is a major milestone in the Government's efforts to rid Scotland of football hooliganism and sectarian bigotry
