Thousands of jubilant Hibernian fans cheered players as they held aloft the Scottish Cup on a parade through Edinburgh following their historic win at Hampden Park.

Scarf-wearing supporters turned out to thank Hibs and welcome the trophy to the city more than a century after the club last took it home in 1902.

The parade follows the team's 3-2 victory against Rangers on Saturday - a win marred by a pitch invasion and fan disorder which has been condemned by the Scottish Football Association (SFA).

A police investigation is under way to find those responsible for violent and destructive behaviour on the pitch after the final whistle.

On Edinburgh's High Street on Sunday, curious tourists joined hoards of fans taking photographs and filming the Easter Road side as they made their way down the street on an open-top bus.

The parade culminating at Leith Links followed a reception held by the Lord Provost at the City Chambers.

Donald Wilson said: "No matter what colour scarf you wear or where you live, I'm sure all football fans in the city will recognise this is a time for celebration."

Mother and daughter Natalie Boyd and Christine McGee from Colinton were among the fans who turned out to see the team.

Ms Boyd, 28, said: "We're absolutely delighted. We go through to Hampden all the time but we were not expecting that yesterday - what a day it was.

"It's an even better day today - it was incredible seeing the team there on the top of the bus.

"They totally deserve it, they have given their all, all season. It's absolutely perfect."

Hibs secured their Scottish Cup win only in the last few minutes of the final, when an injury time goal by David Gray ended a 114-year wait for the trophy.

Fans' excitement quickly spilled onto the pitch and some were pictured tearing up the turf and climbing on the goalposts.

Rangers said players and staff were assaulted by rival supporters and the defeated side did not return to the pitch to be presented with their runners-up medals.

Mounted police officers had to be called in to restore order after what SFA chief executive Stewart Regan described as ''contemptible behaviour'' from some fans.

Hibs chairman and SFA president Rod Petrie said he was sorry that the ''over-exuberance'' of supporters had taken them onto the pitch.

He said: ''I am not aware of a complaint but if something has happened to a (Rangers) player or member of staff, that is a very serious matter and we will co-operate fully.

''I fully expect there will be a detailed examination of what has happened to learn the lessons and we are ready to contribute to that.''

Scotland's Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: ''Violence has no place in football, either on or off the pitch, and the dreadful scenes at Hampden have undoubtedly taken the shine off Hibs' first Scottish Cup win in more than a century.''
