Hearts have launched a probe into alleged racist abuse dished out by a supporter to Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos.
The Gers hitman scored for his side in the first-half of the 1-1 draw at Tynecastle this afternoon.
As he wheeled away in celebration he was congratulated in front of the home fans where he was allegedly subjected to racist abuse.
The Gorgie club have confirmed they are investigating the allegations.
A club spokesman said: "The club is aware of an incident of alleged racism and is currently investigating it.
"It goes without saying that Heart of Midlothian Football Club utterly condemns any form of racism and any individuals found guilty of such an offence will face an indefinite ban from Tynecastle Park".
Rangers declined to comment.
