Thousands of Scotland fans have snapped up fake versions of the new 150th Anniversary Scotland top for just £10.
The dark blue official jerseys, which are manufactured by Adidas and sold exclusively by JD Sports, went on sale last week.
But fans hit out over the price of the tops, which would have set a family of four back £320 at £70 for kids and £90 for adults.
Now some fans have turned to fake goods websites like DHgate and AliExpress to snap up counterfeit versions.
A Daily Record investigation has uncovered thousands of unofficial replica versions of the tops for sale online.
The kits have free shipping and can also be customised to include a player or fan's name and number.
Last week we revealed Andy Smith, Chair of the Scottish Football Supporters Association, and West of Scotland Tartan Army spokesman Hamish Husband were worried fans would go elsewhere to find cheaper alternatives to the real top. And our investigation has revealed thousands of fans have gone down the route of buying fake tops from abroad.
As well as the online listings showing that thousands of purchases have been made, some fans took to social media to reveal and explain their actions. One said: "As much as we love football £90 for a jersey is just too much. This site has excellent alternatives." Another Facebook user posted: "Straight on DHgate to get a Scotland jersey."
Football supporter groups last night insisted fans were being driven to buy fake goods by the high cost of official kits.
Andy Smith, chair of the Scottish Football Supporters Association, said: “The tops cost less than £10 to make and the £90 price is profiteering.”
The SFA, JD Sports and Adidas were all approached for comment. The Record also attempted to get comment from the Alibaba Group, the company which owns AliExpress, and DHgate but could not get a response.
