Police Scotland says it is carrying out enquiries after flares were lit during Celtic's weekend win over Hearts.

A section of the home crowd unfurled a huge banner and lit flares in the 67th minute, in tribute to the 50th anniversary of their 1967 European Cup win.

A Police Scotland statement read: "We can confirm that enquiries are being carried out following the Celtic v Hearts game at Celtic Park on Sunday 21 May 2017 where pyrotechnic devices were set off during the match.
