A Scottish football club has apologised after The Sash was played on a PA system during a stadium open day for fans.
Hearts FC released a statement saying the loyalist song "has no place" at the Tynecastle stadium in Edinburgh.
The club had opened its doors to fans, allowing them to tour the stadium as part of the 'Foundation of Hearts' event to celebrate the club's unique position as the largest fan-owned team in the UK.
Footage of The Sash being played at the grounds was shared on social media, and a club spokesperson said their apology was to both those in the stadium, and those who saw it online.
The folk song, the full title of which is The Sash my Father Wore is one of the most popular songs played by flute bands during Orange Order parades.
Scottish clubs have faced pressure to eliminate sectarianism from soccer in recent years, particularly top flight Glasgow sides Celtic and Rangers.
The Hearts spokesman said of Sunday: "During the day’s festivities, an incident occurred whereby a song was played over the PA system.
"The song in question has no connection to Hearts and it has no place at Tynecastle.
"As soon as the club was made aware of the issue the PA system was switched off, the incident investigated and swiftly concluded.
"Club officials apologised at the time to those inside the stadium who brought the matter to their attention. The club would now like to further extend that apology to our wider fanbase after videos of the incident were shared on social media."
