Greaves Sports in Glasgow said that it has “completely sold out” and a search on their site indicates that the shirt is no longer available to buy.

A spokesman for the Nike shop in Glasgow told The Times: “We have been absolutely inundated with requests for Croatia shirts.”

Thousands of Scots have been backing England’s opponents throughout the World Cup and will continue to do so when Gareth Southgate’s men try and book their place in the final this evening.
