Anti-sectarian group’s cash cut
A 20 PER cent cut in funding for an anti-sectarianism project that is backed by Rangers and Celtic has been announced by Glasgow City Council.
The Old Firm Alliance’s grant will fall from £125,000 to £100,000 next year. It comes against a backdrop of cuts across the public sector.
The alliance uses free football workshops to reach out to primary school pupils.

Rangers said the club was determined to “further develop our reach into Glasgow’s most deprived communities”.
