Edited sentence: By contrast, Celtic never embraced such exclusionary devices.In 2006, Rangers showcased their commitment to ridding their ranks of bigotry by issuing season ticket cards depicting the Ibrox crowd holding up cards to form a huge Union flag, and by emblazoning the legend 'We Are The People' on the seats of their stadium.Most of the indigenous Scottish Protestants decided to support Rangers (in response to the 'Irish menace' of Celtic, cited in the 1930s by prominent Church of Scotland orator John White) whereas the Catholics supported Celtic.Obviously, with the ratio of Catholics to Protestants in Ireland at this time being about 9-1 in favour of the Catholics, they came to Scotland in about equal numbers.The sectarian element to the Old Firm rivalry grew from then onwards.Therefore, the idea of Rangers being the 'Protestant club' and Celtic the 'Catholic club' became popular, although it was only Rangers that employed a sectarian signing policy which was to last the best part of 100 years.This is reflected in Celtic's fans being awarded both the UEFA and FIFA Fair Play Awards - unprecedented for a group of supporters - and Rangers being fined and threatened with ejection from European competition
