The new strip marks the 150th anniversary of the first international football match against England.

Scotland fans say they feel they are being "taken for granted" after the national team's new home shirt went on sale at "eye-watering" prices.

One member of the Tartan Army said the expense of the new shirt was a "step too far" for many supporters.BBC Scotland understands the SFA does not set the price of the kits. "We spend an awful lot following our country as it is," he said. "That's my choice obviously. But we're just constantly being taken for granted.

A discount was available to online shoppers via the JD Sports app. Despite being listed as 15%, it initially brought prices down by 30% - from £90 for an adult strip to £63.

That's his house up for Sale🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

BBCSport They can afford it easily they alway have money for their strip and whoever plays England at the World Cup strip

If they’re daft enough to wear that hideous shite they’re daft enough to pay it

Think these shirts when 90% are made using cheap labour in far east. Paying £1 per hour. So 1 shirt is worth 90 hours. But each person could make uoto 500 a day. Think fabric, worker, factory, shipping, customs,£22.50 so wholesale cost £45. Add profit 100%... add retail £90

One shirts worth more than their silverware

90 quid for a shirt that's never going to be seen in a major competition is robbery, and that's not a dig at Scotland or the football team either

BBCSport £90😂😂😂😂

Shame it Will never be seen at a euros or a world cup

They have plenty of money to buy shirts of whichever country England is playing

Where can we get info on the latest TV licence cancellations?

You could buy the Scotland team for that.

Is it handmade Harris Tweed?

For something that cost £5 to make.

Don’t the Scots like a bit of socialism? Everyone gets to pay the same rip off price for a poor quality product 😂 ScottishFA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is what knock-offs are for.

There is no reason it should be £90. That is scalping, by the team themselves!! £25 is more than enough! Probably costs a fiver to make!!

You know you getting old when you remember a time when only footballers wore football shirts!!!

BBCSport You don't have to buy it 😉

That’s a lot of money for a shirt that will never see a World Cup

Where are they manufactured?

Doesn’t matter. Fans are so thick they will literally pay anything

Raith Rovers could buy three players for that 🤷🏻‍♂️

BBCSport It will make a change, to buying the shirt of whoever England are playing in the knockout stages of a tournament.!

Don't buy them !

BBCSport Get yourselves on DHGate lads, £14

simple get a copy of a shirt from chinese site

Is that because you have to drink 180 units of alcohol before you wear it?

BBCSport A blue adidas shirt 20 to 30 pounds. Put a badge on and charge an extra 60. Great value there.

BBCSport God…… gave up buying football shirts 30 years ago ish …… rip off just keeps on giving or not as per the price …..

BBCSport Erm don’t buy it then? Wtf.

The majority are on Ebay at double the price
