Reevel Alderson investigates the sectarian scar that blights Scottish football.

In a season marred by parcel bombs and sectarian chanting, Reevel Alderson investigates the partisan scar that blights Scottish football, talking to those caught up in the events.

As this year's Scottish football season draws to an end, will it be remembered for the quality of football or for the ugly face sectarianism?

It was a football season marked with parcel bombs, sectarian chanting and even a political summit. Scotland's football seemed to make the headlines across the world for all the wrong reasons.

Reporter Reevel Alderson investigates the secterian scar that seems to blight Scottish football and explores the roots of the problem. With contributions from many of the people caught up in this year's sectarian headlines, the programme asks if we will ever be able to solve Scotland's not-so-secret shame.
