Ross County have blasted "utter disrespect" from a small group of supporters as a minute's silence for the late Denis Law and former player Gordon Seaton was disrupted.
The Highland club paid tribute to Scotland icon Law and former Staggie Seaton with a minute's silence before the Scottish Cup tie against Livingston.
At the time, a post on the club account read: "Following a well observed minute of silence for Gordon Seaton and Denis Law, we are underway here in Dingwall."
However, club chiefs have now slaughtered "reprehensible" conduct as jeering and inappropriate noise came from a group of supporters in the Jail End with flares also set off in a "wholly dangerous, reckless" incident.
Several supporters were ejected with a police and club investigation underway.

A strongly-worded statement read: "Ross County FC are appalled at a small section of supporters in the singing section of the Jail End at our home game on Saturday 18th January.
"The group showed utter disrespect during the minutes silence for a former player and another national football icon.
"Their conduct was reprehensible and in addition to the jeering and inappropriate noise, several flares were ignited which was wholly dangerous, reckless and could have caused injury to those in the stand.
"Several youths were ejected and a retrospective police and club investigation is ongoing which may lead to prosecution and club bans.
"For the avoidance of any doubt, Ross County FC do not accept that there is a place for such unacceptable conduct at our club and anyone who has information, please contact the club as we work our way through the detailed CCTV footage and other video recordings to identify the perpetrators."
