A hundred ice creams were dished out to fans in Glasgow’s George Square as AG Barr launched the new product.

Head of marketing Adrian Troy said: “We worked hard to get it right and all of our taste testers have given it top marks.”

Irn-Bru has been made to a secret recipe containing 32 flavours since 1901.

The orange soft drink hit the headlines last week after reports it had been banned in Canada, which were later discounted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

The ice-cream will be rolled out in Scottish shops from March.
