Artists take credit for Glasgow 'fake Banksy' which appeared in city centre

A pair of artists claim they are the masterminds behind the viral 'Banksy' street-art which appeared near Buchanan Street last week.

The art depicts a rat playing a broken drum with 'God Save the King' written across, wearing a sash and a Union Jack hat caught in a trap and shows a rolled up copy of The Sun newspaper.

However, Glasgow City Council confirmed it will be removed as it was declared a fake Banksy and was not genuine. A day after the art was spotted on the city centre wall, it was painted over and defaced.
