Hibs have reminded supporters not to use pyrotechnics such as smoke bombs and flares within the stadium.
The practise has become a common feature following goals despite repeated condemnation by the club.
Most supporters agree with the stance however a few believe that there is no danger and that they improve the atmosphere at games.
A statement issued this morning on the club website states:
“Hibernian FC would like to reiterate our stance on pyrotechnics, which is that we condemn their usage within Easter Road Stadium and at other stadiums.
“The use of pyrotechnics, including smoke bombs and flares, within football stadiums is extremely dangerous and is a serious offence, with the Club having a zero tolerance approach with regards to the carrying and usage of pyrotechnics at our matches. Recent events have led to two supporters receiving indefinite bans.
“Hibernian will continue to work closely with Scottish Police, security and the football authorities to eradicate this behaviour at our matches.”
