It began with a joke, but now Borussia Monchengladbach seem to have fully embraced a new title given to them by a pub in Glasgow.

A Twitter post showing a sign outside the Scottish bar went viral after the author seemingly gave up attempting to spell "Monchengladbach" - instead opting for "A German Team".

Gladbach saw the funny side, changing their own English account's Twitter handle to "A German Team" and on social media when they faced Celtic in the Champions League.

But now fans reminding them of the anecdote, with scarves sporting the Bundesliga side's 'new name' on sale in the club shop.

Gladbach beat the Scottish champions 2-0 and they meet again in Germany next Tuesday.
