Having a whole range of new legal toys to play with there will no doubt be a stampede to charge the gentleman suspected of the said sectarian outrage on several counts.
1/ The choice of his apparel, part 1. Obviously the current Pontiff's membership of the Hitler Youth and the Wehrmacht has affected his choice of t-shirt as he intended to cause offense to both the visiting Israeli fans and those many members of the Glasgow Jewish community who support Rangers. A grossly offensive act in view of the suffering of the Jewish community at the hands of the Nazi regime.
2/ The choice of his apparel, part 2. As Rangers FC is popularly regarded as a club mostly supported by Protestants and in view of the history of religious strife in Scotland the wish to offend Protestants may be a secondary, or indeed primary, choice in his evening wear. Unless he habitually wears a £2 Vatican souvenir tee-shirt he will have some explaining to do on this point and I think we can safely assume that any reasonable person employed in the Procurator Fiscal's Office will take the view that he was motivated in his choice by religious hatred.
UEFA HAS A PROBLEM TOO
UEFA have indicated their intent to tackle racism, sectarianism and political extremism. In their clarification of their policies this summer they indicated that clubs would be held responsible for the behaviour of their fans home and away, whether or not they are part of officially organised travel.
When considering this incident UEFA will surely look at the motivation of the offender and the football club he supports. Should he be found to support a certain club that is significant and cannot be ignored. There are many political activists with no interest in football so it's more than a coincidence that a supporter of a club with say 60,000 regular fans in a country of 5,000,000 should choose the stadium of a rival club to engage in a pitch invasion.
To that end, it must surely be held that it is the club supported by the offender rather than the home club which will be held responsible for his actions.
Lastly, there are parts of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign statement regarding the protester which will, I'm sure, also interest the authorities.
They say “Our Campaign, however, did NOT organise last night's pitch invasion at Ibrox, and indeed strongly advised the young man involved AGAINST taking this course of action.”
Presumably they informed the authorities of his intentions? If not, why not?
They may also care to clarify a few other points:-

"A protest is planned inside the ground by 'Rangers Supporters for Palestine' "
As there was no other protest it does suggest he was one of their members.
Perhaps they could confirm or deny that he was present at this meeting:-
"Open organising meeting Monday Oct 30 at 7.00pm
Pollokshields Primary School , 241 Albert Drive "
I'm sure that would clarify things.
In the meantime I'm sure the police, politicians and procurators will not let us down in this absolutely crucial example of how sectarian and racial hatred should be tackled.
Who knows, we might even get a statement from Nil By Mouth condemning the invader.
