Sectarianism in modern Glasgow

Not being Scottish me'self, and following on from http://www.hiddenglasgow.com/forums/vie ... ctarianism, I'd love to know how much Sectarianism is still an issue in 21st century Glasgow beyond the occasional bonehead at a football game. I've heard (no doubt apocryphal) stories about this community or that area of the town, and understand that historically certain areas have been linked to specific religious groups, but I don't really understand how this equates to a modern city. Are there still hotbeds of Unionism or Nationalism in today's multicultural Glasgow? And are there areas formally considered bastions of Protestantism or Catholicism that have (for want of a better word) evolved?
