Yahoo Sports Ross County condemn jeers during Denis Law silence
Ross County says it was appalled by the behaviour of a small section of its fans during a minute's silence in Dingwall on Saturday.
Jeering and several flares were set off in the jail end stand before County's home game against Livingston in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.
The silence was held in tribute to former Scotland, Manchester United and Manchester City striker Denis Law and also Gordon Seaton, who played for County in the 1970s and 80s.
Ross County said it and police were investigating the incident and prosecutions and bans from the stadium could follow.
It said several youths were told to leave the ground.
The club said: "The group showed utter disrespect during the minute's 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."
The Premiership club added: "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."
Championship side Livingston won the game 3-2 after extra time.
Law, who died on Friday aged 84, was born in Aberdeen and is the only Scottish player to have won the Ballon d'Or - the trophy awarded annually to the world's best footballer.
