Aberdeen have confirmed they will not hold a victory parade should they beat Celtic in Saturday's Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park.
The decision comes in the wake of Monday night's terror attack on Manchester and echoes ones made by English FA Cup finalists Arsenal and Chelsea.
Aberdeen head to Glasgow to try and deny unbeaten Celtic the domestic treble after their previous victory in the League Cup and runaway success in the Scottish Premiership.
They had been planning a parade on Sunday.
An Aberdeen statement read: "Following this week's tragic events in Manchester, and after detailed discussion with Police Scotland, Aberdeen Football Club has confirmed that, in the event of an Aberdeen victory, there will be no victory parade in the city on Sunday.
"Obviously with complete respect to Celtic Football Club, we would not wish to pre-judge the outcome of the Scottish Cup final in any way. However, it is crucial that supporters are fully aware of all organisational arrangements which may affect them.
"In the event of Aberdeen being fortunate enough to win the Scottish Cup, the club would like to confirm that there will be no open top bus parade on Sunday and, given the situation and the pressure on police and security resources, we know our supporters will fully understand these measures which have been taken.
"We thank the Red Army for their assistance and co-operation."
