Dog-loving Scotland fans will now be able to go for walkies with their pooch in style, thanks to a new range of football shirts and accessories for their pets.
Endorsed by the Scottish FA, the range includes a retro-styled dog football shirt, harness, collar and lead set in the team colours ahead of the much-anticpated Euro 2020 contest this summer, with Scotland's first match, against Croatia, taking place on June 14.
What's more, the shirts can also be personalised with your dog’s name and any number of your choice.
The range is based on the 1967 shirt worn by Baxter, Law, Bremner and the rest of the team when they defeated the then world champions England at Wembley 3-2 - and now Scotland fans everywhere are hoping history will repeat itself on June 18 when we take on the Auld Enemy in London in our second game of the competition.
Urban Pup, the brand behind the doggie designs, are delighted with the results.
Denis Kelly, the company’s managing director, told Lanarkshire Live: "When we were first approached by the Scotland FA to design a range of dog football shirts and accessories it was definitely one of those 'wow' moments.
"With Scotland having qualified for EURO 2020 it was very exciting to be involved with the team and to be able to create something that was, shall we say, a little bit different from the norm.
"We are incredibly proud and pleased with the range. We are sure the fans will love them just as much as we do and will enjoy seeing their dogs in a personalised shirt or taking them for a walk in their Scotland harness or collar and lead set."
Steven Romeo, Head of Retail for the Scottish FA, added: "The Scotland National Team qualifying for this summer’s EURO finals was a huge achievement and we want everyone in the country to get behind the team
“Scotland is full of dog-loving people and we are sure that many of the Scotland supporters out there will want to proudly show their support for their team by dressing their beloved dogs in the teams’ colours.”
