A number of images in rats in the artist's trademark style sparked speculation in the city.
New street art in Glasgow which bears a resemblance to some of Banksy's most famous work is not genuine, BBC Scotland has learned.
It coincided with the first week of a hugely popular exhibition of his work in the city and led to speculation it may be the real deal.One of the works showed a rodent wearing a Union Jack hat and playing a drum, with the words "God Save the King" on it. A spokesman for the council said: "This image will be removed. We understand that it is not by Banksy.
The artwork does not appear on Banksy's official website, Pest Control, which catalogues all of the artist's genuine work.Original stencils used by the real Banksy are on display at Glasgow's GoMA.
