In Glasgow, sectarian rivalry between Roman Catholics and Protestants still exists in certain sectors of the population, largely as a result of mass immigration to the city from Ireland in the 19th century. The large majority of Roman Catholics are of Irish origin, although a few came from the Highlands, as well as Lithuania and Italy. Some Protestants from Ulster have also migrated to Glasgow, bringing the culture and traditions of that community. There was a significant influx of shipyard workers just before the First World War. Nowadays, overt sectarianism is largely limited to the rivalry between the supporters of Celtic F.C. and Rangers F.C., which has an underlying religious basis for some people, and is particularly prominent around games between the two sides. Celtic supporters are nominally Catholic, while Rangers supporters are nominally Protestant.

At Celtic Park, the Flag of Ireland has a place of honour and at Ibrox Stadium, it is the Union Flag. The Orangemen of Glasgow (members of the Protestant Orange Lodges), parade through the city around the historic 12th July, playing flutes and drums and singing songs in a celebration of the victory of William of Orange's Protestant army over King James II of England's Roman Catholic one at the Battle of the Boyne. Republican marches use much the same format to commemorate various important dates in the history of Irish Republicanism such as the Rebellion of 1798, though they are less common. These marches are often seen as a source of tension (and are now subject to stricter controls as a result), with each side accusing the other of supporting Northern Ireland-based paramilitary groups like the Irish Republican Army and Ulster Defence Association. One Protestant man convicted of the sectarian murder of a Catholic teenager applied to be transferred to a prison in Northern Ireland because of a family connection with the Ulster Volunteer Force, but this was turned down.

Glasgow has constantly had a ferment of new incoming groups, Jews, Highlanders, and Italian Catholics, and more recently asylum seekers of many faiths. Many see this as an enrichment and revitalising of the city, and regard bigotry as a dark but distant part of this vibrant and modern city's history. Although acceptance of other faiths in Glasgow is not universal, surveys comparing people's ideas about sectarianism with their actual day-to-day personal experience show that the perception of sectarianism is much stronger than its occurrence in reality, and that the city's problems with health, education and social deprivation are of much greater daily concern to most Glaswegians. A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own. ...
