The Herald quotes article 5 of the UEFA disciplinary regulations:
"Member associations, clubs, as well as their players, officials and members, shall conduct themselves according to the principles of loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship. For example, a breach of these principles is incurred by anyone . . . whose conduct is racist, discriminatory, politically extremist, insulting or of any other such nature as to violate the basic rules of conduct."

Somehow, according to UEFA, singing about being up to the knees in Fenian blood and chanting "F... the Pope" do not contravene this regulation.
