Hibernian have taken action against a number of their supporters identified as having been involved in the on-pitch fracas after their Scottish Cup final win over Rangers.
Thousands of Easter Road fans swarmed on to Hampden Park after the final whistle blew on their 3-2 win, a result which ended their 114-year wait to follow up their 1902 success.
A number of Rangers players were attacked and some of those - including captain Lee Wallace, scorer Andy Halliday and midfielder Jason Holt - required medical attention.
Some Rangers supporters also came on to the pitch and were involved in violence, although the number was much smaller.
The Ibrox side's managing director Stewart Robertson has since criticised Hibs' fans conduct for the way they provoked and taunted his side's followers.
After initially seeming to dismiss what happened as 'over exuberance', the Edinburgh outfit's chairman and Scottish FA vice-president Rod Petrie also condemned the disorder.
A criminal investigation relating to the trouble is now ongoing and the SFA has also set up an independent commission to examine how security measures failed.
While both those processes gather pace, Hibs have in the meantime imposed their own sanctions, issuing both life and indefinite bans to certain individuals.
The club's chief executive Leeann Dempster said: "While Police Scotland will continue with their own inquiries, we will continue to review what happened and take the action we think appropriate to protect the club's good name.
"We will also co-operate fully with the independent commission established by the SFA.
"We have initiated contact with the supporters informing them of our decision. We will continue to identify and impose appropriate sanctions against others involved in unacceptable behaviour."
