The most anticipated summer in Scottish soccer in a generation started with a public outbreak of perhaps its deepest-rooted problem.

Celebrations of Rangers’ title-winning season turned sour with anti-Catholic chants. It happened in the city square that will host a Euro 2020 fan zone and was fiercely condemned by lawmakers and soccer officials. The national team’s popular Tartan Army of fans aims to repair the reputational damage at Euro 2020.
