Flares were seen in the Aberdeen end ahead of kick-off despite governing bodies pleading with punters not to let them off.
Flares were launched in the Aberdeen end at Hampden despite the SPFL and SFA plea with fans NOT to bring fireworks into the national stadium.
Flares and fireworks have been a hot topic in Scottish football since Rangers' trip to Dens Park where the action had to be paused after multiple pyrotechnics were thrown onto the pitch. That prompted statements from Rangers and Dundee while Record Sport revealed fears from Police Scotland that it could be repeated at Hampden this weekend - with Hibs facing Aberdeen on Saturday and Rangers taking on Hearts on Sunday.
The first of the two Viaplay Cup semi-finals hadn't even kicked off when red flares became visible in the Aberdeen end at the national stadium. That's despite a plea from governing bodies to fans not to bring pyrotechnics into the national stadium.
