IT’S tradition for many football fans on match-days to sample a pre-match or half-time snack from one of their club’s many fine kiosks.
But even the most peckish punters won’t be flocking to one Scottish Championship club’s stadium for a meal any time soon after seeing the sausage rolls they have on offer.
Fans from across the UK have taken aim at the Scottish side after Footy Scran, a Twitter account which rates stadium snacks, posted pictures of the well-fired pastry dish on the platform.
Launched in 2020, the page asks footy supporters to rate food items from football matches around the world.
Below the pictures, fans can deliver their verdict on the meals by picking between ‘Scran’ or ‘No Scran.’
Scottish teams regularly feature, with a burger from Aberdeen’s Pittodrie recently rated as one of the worst items of footy grub – with 93.57 per-cent of those who voted opting against the snack.
And now another Scottish club has been posted, but sadly not for the right reasons either!
The platform’s 526,000 followers have shown their distaste towards the blackened sausage roll, with one fan asking if it had been found in a “Roman archaeology dig”.
But the big question is, where did it come from?
Well if you want to get your hands on the savoury meal, you will need to head up to the Highlands and visit the Caledonian Stadium – home of Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

The Jags hosted Championship leaders Dundee yesterday and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
It leaves the Dens Park outfit still leading the chase for the title – one point ahead of Queens Park – and Inverness in pole position for a play-off spot in third.
But while it was a crunch clash with plenty on the line, one punter was more focused on his char-grilled sausage roll after being handed it over the counter.
He then sent it in to the Footy Scran admins.
And it didn’t go down well with fellow supporters as 87.5 per-cent of voters chose ‘No Scran’ compared to the 12.5 per-cent who claimed they would give it a go.
They took to the comments to highlight their disbelief at the heavily burnt pastry snack too.
One fellow football fan asked: “Was it directly hit by a solar flare?”
Another added: “Rescued from a fire in the kitchen.”
Someone else laughed: “Remember kids, if you’re naughty, Santa will leave a sausage roll from Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC in your stocking.”
A fourth joked: “That’s a charcoal briquette.”
An Inverness fan said: “No wonder we can’t afford our electric bills!”
Whilst a sixth laughed: “Super Caley go ballistic, that sausage roll is atrocious.”
The price of the sausage roll was £2.50, which is fairly cheap for your average stadium food.
But most fans have admitted even that’s too much and insist they’d need to be paid to sample it.
One comment read: “You’d have to pay me £250 to try that.”
Another said: “That’s £2.50 too much.”
