POLICE are looking into footage which appears to show a steward snorting white powder at a Hibs v Rangers match.
The video, which has been circulating online, is reportedly taken at the midweek Premiership clash at Easter Road.
The Daily Record says that the man in the video, wearing a high-vis security jacket appeared to snort from a bag of a powdered substance believed to be cocaine.
The footage shows one person take a key and put it into the bag.
He then puts the powder on to the key and the steward bends down and puts his finger to his nose and snorts the substance.
Someone can be heard shouting ‘Oh my God’ in the 17-second clip.

No arrests have been made.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We are aware of a video relating to possible drug use and enquiries are ongoing.”
Ex-Labour justice spokesman Graeme Pearson, who is also the former head of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, told the Record he was “shocked but not surprised” by the incident.
He said: “The duty of a steward is to provide safety and security for the public attending these football matches – and we know from our history in Scotland that when things go wrong within these big groups of fans, it can result in serious injuries.
“So if we’re relying on these people to protect fans – a steward who appears to be using cocaine while performing his duties, is not a good outcome.
“If you’re sending your kids to football and you’re hoping that they’re going to be safe and there is a steward coked out his brain, he is not going to be helpful in ensuring that safety.”
We have approached Saltire Security and Hibs for comment.
