Celtic supporters chanted throughout a minute’s applause in memory of Britain's Queen Elizabeth ahead of the cinch Premiership game against St Mirren in Paisley.
Some Hoops fans chanted ‘if you hate the royal family clap your hands’ while a banner containing the same phrase could be seen in the away end.
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou had previously expressed the club’s wish that fans be “respectful” during any tributes.
The Glasgow club became the subject of UEFA disciplinary proceedings after supporters displayed a ‘F*** the Crown’ banner during Wednesday’s Champions League draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in Poland.
There were disruptions to tributes at some of Saturday’s Premiership fixtures.

A minute’s silence at Ibrox was disrupted by Dundee United supporters. Boos and chants could be heard coming from the corner of the stadium housing several hundred United supporters before Rangers played God Save the King.
In a brief statement, United later stated that they had “reached out to advise our supporters of the pre-match arrangements with the expectation that the minute silence would be observed”.
There were similar reactions ahead of Hibernian’s game with Aberdeen at Easter Road, where boos and chants were audible during a minute’s applause.
The Scottish Football Association had postponed all matches the previous weekend following the queen’s death and gave clubs the option of choosing whether and how to pay respects when games resumed.
In a joint statement with the Scottish Professional Football League on Monday, the SFA said: “This week, as a mark of respect and in keeping with the period of national mourning, home clubs may wish to hold a period of silence and/or play the national anthem just ahead of kick-off, and players may wish to wear black armbands.”
