Sammy the Tammy is off the hook after Fife police confirmed they will take no action against the Pars mascot for his pre-match antics at the weekend.
Sammy had been criticised for his pre-derby stunt when he appeared on the East End Park pitch in a cardboard "tank" and pretended to fire on the Raith Rovers fans.
This led to criticism from sections of the Raith Rovers support following their club's 2-1 defeat, while Dunfermline and West Fife MP Thomas Docherty said Sammy's actions were "silly" and "unnecessary".
The Pars have said they will deal with the matter internally and Fife police said the matter would now be closed.
Dunfermline Chief Inspector Bob Baker said, "Regarding the behaviour of the Dunfermline Mascot on Saturday I can confirm I've spoken with the individual involved and a representative of the club.
"I have been assured there will be no recurrence and am satisfied the club has the matter in hand. I am content to leave anything further as an internal matter for the club to pursue."
