He said: “Areas of misbehaviour, unacceptable conduct, call it what you will, in my opinion, have got no place in the game.
“I have seen pictures on TV and in the newspapers, of effigies being hung up in the stands, and also evidence of banners being displayed and toilets being trashed.
“This has got no place in modern football, it is not acceptable, and it is something I hope the whole of Scottish football will take seriously and try to do something about it.”
