THIS STRIP TAKES THE BISCUIT

ONE of most iconic strips from the lower leagues of Scottish football, Albion Rovers’ Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer jersey, is set to make a comeback.

The Coatbridge side were sponsored by Tunnock’s in 1983, and they wore a yellow strip with red diagonal stripes that matched the wrapper of the baker’s famous biscuit.

Plans are now afoot to launch a retro version of the top.

A club spokesperson said: “We had the distinction of having worn a kit inspired by a sweetie wrapper, and now our kit suppliers are looking into a retro top with the Tunnock’s logo on it.

“We are trying to trace a jersey from the time but without success, so it may have to be replicated from pictures.”
