The Scottish Football Association is set to vote on tough new measures to counter racism and discrimination.
Among the new deterrents being considered by the governing body are a minimum five-game ban for offending players as well as points deductions and stadium bans for clubs who allow fans to shout racist and offensive chants.
The punishments will be considered when the SFA holds its Annual General Meeting at Hampden on Tuesday.
Both FIFA and UEFA have taken up strict stances on tackling unacceptable conduct in recent months and the SFA say they are now adopting the same "zero-tolerance" attitude.
Campbell Ogilvie, the SFA president, and chief executive Stewart Regan both attended last month's FIFA Congress, where anti-discrimination sanctions were discussed.
Regan said: "Currently the regulations in Scotland are not as robust as those adopted by UEFA. The ability to take stronger action should act as a deterrent, as it does when you look at instances during European matches.
"Essentially, the resolution is about asking the members: 'What do you want for the future atmosphere inside our grounds?'.
"At a time when we are looking to unite the two league bodies, we should be doing all we can to enhance the atmosphere and to encourage and excite a new generation of supporters."
A total of 45 resolutions will be discussed at the Hampden meeting - with a 75 per cent majority required to pass each motion.
As well as the beefed-up measures to tackle racism, the SFA members will vote on proposals for the creation of a new Lowland League - a key part of the pyramid structure recommended in the McLeish Review of Scottish Football.
If approved, the new set-up could be formed in time for the start of next season, clearing the way for play-offs to the bottom tier of senior football.
"It is a really exciting development and something the Scottish FA has supported as part of the five principles for league reconstruction - a single league body, fairer financial distribution, parachute payments, play-offs and the pyramid," Regan added.
"There has to be a meritocracy in the bottom tier of the senior game and the pyramid will provide greater competition."
Mourinho was officially unveiled as Chelsea's new manager this afternoon at a packed press conference at Stamford Bridge.
Next season he will lock horns with his former protege Villas-Boas. The 35-year-old was a member of the Blues backroom staff during Mourinho's first spell in charge and he also worked with him at Porto and Inter Milan.
The pair have not spoken since Villas-Boas left Inter to embark on his own career in management, which included his own spell at the Stamford Bridge helm.
Mourinho also worked with Brendan Rodgers and Steve Clarke - who now manage Liverpool and West Brom respectively - and he is looking forward to facing all three next season.
"The three boys... well, they are not boys any more - Brendan, Steven and Andre, I'm more than happy to be in the same league as them and I wish them all the best," Mourinho said.
The 23-year-old, who scored 20 goals in 38 appearances last season, has signed a four-year contract at Pride Park.
Rams boss Nigel Clough, who has already snared Burnley goalkeeper Lee Grant and Chris Martin from Norwich, had made Russell his top summer target.
"We're delighted to sign Johnny and his goalscoring exploits north of the border are something we've been aware of for some time," Clough said.
"He's been prolific in the last few years and from what we've seen of him we believe he can transfer that form to the Championship.
"At 23 he is a player who's only going to improve as well and we feel he's the right type of player to complement the options and players we already have in attack.
"We've had some stiff competition from a number of clubs to get him here so it's nice to come out on top and convince him Derby County is the best place for him.
"Johnny is an ambitious and hungry player and he shares our desire to be fighting it out for a top six spot next season and we're pleased to have him on board."
A product of Dundee United's youth system, Russell made his professional debut as a substitute during a 2-0 defeat to Falkirk in May 2007.
He had loan spells at Forfar and Raith Rovers before making his first-team breakthrough in the 2010/11 season.
