A Rangers flag featuring a Nazi SS symbol was displayed in the away end at Tynecastle this afternoon.
A banner draped from railings in the away allocation - during the 0-0 draw with Hearts - included imagery of a Totenkopf.
Rangers are aware of the matter and have condemned the display with an investigation already underway.
The skull and crossbones symbol - also known as the Death's Head - was used by Adolf Hitler's bodyguard unit during the Second World War.
It was particularly used by those guarding concentration camps and who committed a number of atrocities during WW2.
The insignia was also the symbol of the 3rd SS "Totenkopf" Panzer Division, responsible for several war crimes.
This included the 1940 Le Paradis Massacre, where 97 British soldiers from the Royal Norfolk Regiment were murdered after they surrendered.
The flag featured a Rangers badge, 936 the Totenkopf and the words "Expand or perish".
"No surrender" was written across the white cross on the blue flag.

The display was spotted at Tynecastle after Rangers officials condemned a similar flag seen at Ibrox last season.
In October, a flag with the Totenkopf branded 'Rangers Active Unit The Firm' had been slammed by club chiefs. An investigation was launched into the matter.
A Rangers statement reads: “We can confirm that we are aware of this matter.
"The club repeats its strong condemnation of the display of such imagery and confirms that an investigation is already underway.”
Hearts have been contacted for comment.
