Well, maybe not on the field, but Scottish authorities did give Glasgow Celtic goalie Artur Boruc an official warning after he crossed himself before a match last February against their crosstown rivals, Rangers. Prosecutors in Scotland insist the booking was for a series of events during the match, including some lewd gestures before the crowd -- but the main focus was on the sign of the cross.
I am well aware the Presbyterian Church is the national church in Scotland, and the Old Firm battle between Glasgow's Catholic and Protestant teams goes back decades. But isn't this going just a tad too far?
