‘Things are getting better’ on bigotry
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland believes the "temperature of sectarianism is lowering" after an unprecedented visit to yesterday's Old Firm match with the leader of the nation's Catholics.The Right Rev Alan McDonald said his visit to Parkhead with Cardinal Keith O'Brien sent out a clear message that sectarianism had "nothing to do with churches, which are working closely together".
The two leaders were joined at the Celtic-Rangers match by First Minister Jack McConnell, as part of a drive to stamp out bigotry.
Sixteen people were arrested in and around Parkhead, double the number at the previous meeting between the two sides at Ibrox in December. Five arrests were for sectarian-related offences.
