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.
It comes as the iconic artist opened his solo exhibition, 'Cut and Run', at Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art last week.

Now, Ciaran Globel and Conzo Throb claim they are responsible for the artwork which went viral as people speculated whether it was real.
In a video posted on Instagram, they explain how they created the design.
Ciaran said: "Conzo and I faked a Banksy last week and here's how we did it... to capture his visual language we asked, what would Banksy do?
"Conzo spent a long time designing it in order to make it look genuine. We then turned the design into a multi-layered stencil and began testing it.
"We set off in the morning to a location near Banksy's exhibition. We worked in tandem applying the artwork, it took us about five minutes."
