Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards will not be fined for breaching Scotland's smoking ban after lighting up during a concert.
Claims that the veteran rocker broke the law by puffing on a cigarette while performing at Hampden Park were reported to Glasgow City Council.
But environmental officers said that the stage at the stadium does not fall under the enclosed public place criteria specified by the ban.
The new law aims to reduce the health damage caused by secondhand tobacco smoke.
The Stones played at the venue on Friday night as part of their Bigger Bang European tour.
A Glasgow City Council spokesman said: "The stage for the concert was not of the dimensions to be covered by the smoking ban legislation in Scotland."
Actor Mel Smith was prevented from lighting a cigar as part of a theatre show in Edinburgh last month.
The comedian, who played Winston Churchill in a Fringe production, had threatened to ignore the law and light up during the performance.
The ban on smoking in all public places came into effect in Scotland on March 26.
Under the new legislation, anyone smoking in enclosed spaces, including theatres, sports venues and bus shelters, faces a £50 fine.
