KRIS Boyd believes nothing will be done to solve Scottish football’s sectarian problem.

The Kilmarnock striker believes that proper action won't be taken because it hasn't happened when previous issues have arise.n

Former Rangers player Boyd, 35, admitted he has become immune from what is said to hom at grounds but wanted action on coin throwing – he was struck by one thrown by a Celtic fan last Sunday.

Boyd said: “I have become used to it (the abuse) and nothing gets done about it anyway, so there is no point of highlighting it.

“With the coin throwing, or object throwing happens, then it is a problem. There is an opportunity to stop that before someone gets a serious injury. We will wait until something happens, whether it is one month, two months or two years down the line before we do something.

“On the pitch you are a football player and in one way you must being doing something right if people want to have a go at you off the football pitch. I think when you are with your kids and family it is different. I shouldn’t be used to it and it isn’t right, but I am.

“But what is the point in me speaking out every time something happens because nothing will get done.

"Sometimes it is rules for some and rules for others. I won’t sit and play the victim card. I just deal with the stick.

“The verbal stuff doesn’t bother me, whether it is right or wrong. The big thing is the throwing of objects and that is a problem that could become a bigger one.”

Boyd believes a reason players are paid so well by the two Glasgow clubs was the abuse they would inevitably be forced to put up with.

He said: “The Old Firm clubs are massive clubs, with huge numbers of followers, but their history is part of parcel of what they are.

“I can’t criticise Rangers because they gave me what I have in life. Yes, in terms of highlighting coin throwing I can speak about that - but Old Firm players get paid what they get paid to put up with what they have to put up with.

“It isn’t right. I am used to it and nothing will get done about it even if we speak about it.

“It’s part and parcel of being an Old Firm player. I can’t sit here and have any problems with, to an extent, Rangers and Celtic. That’s why you get paid. I’ve had a good life off the back of it.

“I’m not saying it is right, but there is a price to pay when you play for the Old Firm. The chants I am used to. Maybe because it happens that often, but does it make it right? No.”

Boyd believes there are more problems with supporters because many seem to think the world is against them; much of that emanating from anger over the disciplinary procedure.

He said: "What I will say is that, as it stands, I think there is a siege mentality at every club right now.

"That’s coming from inside the building at Hampden because every fan thinks that they’re against their team and that makes them back their team even more in terms of the songs being sung.

“It’s louder and clearer and more people are joining in but I think there is a wider issue here which needs addressed in terms of how various incidents have been treated.

“There’s an opportunity now, with all that’s going on, for all 42 senior clubs in Scotland to sit down and rewrite their own rule book, working forward going together.
