Three Scottish football clubs are the most high-profile businesses among a list of 28 Scottish firms that have been “named and shamed” today for underpaying their staff.

Motherwell, Greenock Morton and Falkirk were on a list of employers not paying the minimum wage.

A list of 28 employers breaching pay rules in Scotland was released by the UK government as part of its campaign to force employers to pay workers properly.

The companies had to refund a total of £116,697 to 92 workers.

It was the 13th time such a list has been compiled, with more workers receiving payments this year than in previous years.

Across the UK, a total of £1.7m in back pay was given to 16,000 workers.

UK Government Minister for Scotland Lord Duncan, said: “We simply will not stand by while companies diddle workers out of their pay. Particularly at this time of year, every pound in workers’ pockets counts. The UK Government’s National Living Wage was established to ensure that everyone, everywhere, receives a decent income. It is unacceptable that some companies in Scotland still think they can get away with underpaying their staff. The UK Government will not stand for it, and will continue to ‘name and shame ‘ until all workers are properly paid.”
