Tyrone GAA have apologised after a video emerged of some of their players singing a rebel song following Saturday's win over Cavan as a band parade went past their team bus.

The incident occurred in Aughnacloy, with the footage apparently showing the players joining in as 'Come Out Ye Black And Tans' is playing over the bus’ speakers.

Organised by the Lisgenny Flute Band, the parade takes place at 8.30pm to avoid disruption to mass goers.

In a statement released to the BBC, Tyrone manager Mickey Harte apologised to "anyone who has been offended by the unacceptable behaviour of some of the panel on Saturday evening".

"The matter is being dealt with in-house and we won't be making any further comment."
