Irn-Bru reveals when its Christmas truck will come to Scottish cities this week

A FESTIVE Irn-Bru truck is set to visit some of Scotland's cities after being inspired by the famous Coca-Cola Christmas stunt.

The Scottish firm said that it is joining the "battle of the festive cola trucks" alongside other brands like Lidl and Coca-Cola.

Irn-Bru said its aim is to help provide hangover help for Scots struggling on the morning after their Christmas parties. Kenny Nicholson, head of brand at Irn-Bru, said the iconic soft drink brand "is here to help."
