Heart of Midlothian Football Club is facing fresh court action over unpaid tax.
HM Revenue and Customs has given the Edinburgh club eight days to pay a tax bill or face liquidation.
It is the fifth time in recent years that the club has faced legal action over unpaid tax.
Late last year, Hearts was forced to pay about £500,000 to ward off a winding-up order over an outstanding tax bill.
The club had similar winding up orders served against it in 2009 and November 2010 over unpaid tax to HMRC.
Both of these were settled after the club paid the bills.
In a statement, Hearts said: "The club is aware of the notice placed in a newspaper relating to an earlier petition presented to the Court of Session.
"We are confident, however, that the relevant matter involving HMRC will be resolved in the very near future and no action as specified in the public notice will be necessary."

No Rangers, no Hearts![]()
"This has to be said about Rangers, as a Scottish football club they are a permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace. This country would be a better place if Rangers did not exist"

Oh no, how will Celtic survive without Hearts?
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Even worse news ,it said good news for Rangers on radio !!! Broadfoot has resumed training..

I read somewhere last week after transfer window closed on the official Rangers site Kerker got moved from a midfield player to a striker
True - the day after - but they left "midfielder" in his description.

They have 5 strikers listed
Lafferty
Healy
Kerkar

Addendum
Tax experts said they were not surprised at HMRC's latest court move.
John Cairns, tax partner at BDO LLP in Glasgow, said tax officials were "getting tougher".
He said: "It used to be that football clubs were pretty well left alone, but they are very much in focus now.
"I think that clubs generally are in a pretty perilous position - their cash flow is quite tight and being very carefully managed."
He added: "With Hearts in particular, with them perhaps struggling to pay their players' wages, they have got to be struggling, as well, with paying their tax liabilities.
"I think football clubs are a sector under pressure and probably the last thing they need is another creditor going after them.
"But in fairness, why shouldn't HMRC pursue debts that are validly due?"
Not good news for Rangers![]()
