FIFA chiefs have written to the Scottish Football Association urging them to implement procedures which could see matches abandoned for sectarian and racist chanting.
World football's governing body wants all national associations to follow their new zero tolerance approach to abuse.
That sees a three-point protocol with abandonment the final step should supporters continue to misbehave.
However Scotland's football authorities are set to resist FIFA's request, according to the BBC , although the SFA are planning stiffer punishments than currently exist in the Scottish Cup.
Hampden bosses have joined forces with the SPFL , the Scottish Government and the police to form a taskforce following a number of high profile incidents in the stands in recent years.
Last season Steve Clarke highlighted the sectarian problem after being on the end of "Fenian b*****d" chants from Rangers fans while managing Kilmarnock.
He said: "Where are we living in? The dark ages?"
His striker at the time, Kris Boyd, was also subjected to sectarian chants from Celtic fans who targeted him with "sad Orange b*****d" chants at Rugby Park.
FIFA's 'three-point protocol' instructs referees to stop matches so fans can be warned over the public address system, as happened in England's Euro 2020 qualifier in Bulgaria this month.
The second step is to suspend the match with players returning to the dressing room. The final stage is abandonment.
An SFA statement on the taskforce said: "Part of that is to discuss and determine how best to incorporate Fifa's Disciplinary Code - and its permitted modifications within the domestic game - into Scottish football.
"We have written to our members to inform them of a review of our policy and process with regard to the relevant disciplinary rules in the context of the William Hill Scottish Cup.
"This review has occurred in light of FIFA's updated disciplinary code and the increased domestic focus on unacceptable conduct."
In a letter to all national associations, FIFA's Secretary General, Fatma Samoura wrote: "FIFA now urges all member associations, leagues, clubs and disciplinary bodies to introduce the three-step procedure in their domestic competitions, to pursue a zero-tolerance policy towards racist and discriminatory incidents in football, and to severely punish such behaviour."
