Scottish football legend Jim Baxter's jersey from Scotland's 2-0 win over England at Hampden in 1962 is to be sold off next month.

Slim Jim's famous blue shirt, which has been on display at the Scottish Football Museum since 2012, is considered to be one of the rarest pieces of football memorabilia to come on the market in recent years.

Glasgow-based auctioneers McTear's, who are selling the jersey, say it is worth around £4,000.

"All memorabilia associated with Jim Baxter is guaranteed to attract interest, but an item like this is something else entirely," said McTear's managing director, Brian Clements.

"'Slim Jim' is one of the greatest Scottish footballers of all time, and his matches against England are the stuff of legend."

A year on from Scotland's 9-3 thrashing at the hands of the Auld Enemy at Wembley, the 1962 game was Baxter's first match against England. The game was played in front of 132,000 spectators and Baxter put in a brilliant display during the 2-0 victory.

Mr Clements continued: "Baxter's jersey from the match is steeped in football heritage and I have no doubt it will attract a huge amount of interest from football fans at home and overseas when it goes under the hammer on 2nd June."

The jersey is being put up for sale by lifelong Scotland fan, Robert Ross, who bought the item in 1992 and had it signed by Baxter in 1993. The footballer died from cancer in April 2001.

People can see it ahead of the sale on June 2 at McTear's stand at the Ideal Home Show Scotland at the SECC in Glasgow from Friday until Monday.
