The Ibrox Disaster led to the death of 66 fans in January 1971
Hibernian have banned a supporter for life for his involvement in mocking the Ibrox disaster of 1971.
Seats were defaced in the away end during Hibs' 4-0 Scottish Premiership defeat by Rangers on Saturday.
Stickers showed the figure 66, the number of casualties in the stadium crush 52 years ago.
There were also photographs of stairway 13, where the disaster occurred, stuck on the seats.
Graffiti also mocked the death of Queen Elizabeth II and supported the IRA.
Hibs say one man has been identified and banned from all the club's matches.
In a statement, they added: "The act of mocking and disrespecting the death of innocent people is intolerable and one of the lowest forms of unacceptable conduct.
"The club will continue to work closely with Rangers to see if further individuals can be identified on the stadium CCTV and, where appropriate, further action will be taken."
