Hearts fans are the tightest in the Scottish Premiership<\/a> – with supporters most likely to dodge buying a round of drinks.<\/p>\n

A poll of 2,000 footy fans<\/a> found that over Scotland as a whole, 20% confessed to being serial round dodgers.<\/p>\n

The study, however, found that fans of table-topping Edinburgh side Heart of Midlothian<\/a>, were the most likely to be tight-fisted.<\/p>\n

The poll found that 33% of fans of the Jam Tarts admitted regularly ducking out of buying a round in their local pub.<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the tactics used by penny-pinching<\/a> fans, include nipping to the loo when it\u2019s their round, saying they\u2019ve forgotten their wallet – or simply saying they were skint.<\/p>\n

Some even pretended to be on the phone when it was their round<\/a>, or sneaked out for a fag.<\/p>\n

Aberdeen fans were the least likely to sidestep getting a round in, with just 8% admitted doing it on a regular basis, the study by married dating site illicitencounters.com<\/a> found.<\/p>\n

The League of Shame<\/a> when it comes to dodging rounds was found to be as follows:<\/p>\n

1 – Hearts – 33% 2 – Dundee – 30% 3 – Rangers – 28% 4 – St. Mirren – 26% 5 – Celtic – 24% 6 – Livingston – 20% 7 – Falkirk – 18% 8 – Hibs – 15% 9 – Kilmarnock – 14% 10 – Dundee United – 13% 11 – Motherwell – 11% 12 – Aberdeen – 8%<\/p>\n

Hearts<\/a> fan Jeremy Robertson, 54, said he preferred buying \u2018his own drinks\u2019 rather than getting a round in.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt\u2019s fine when there\u2019s just two of you, but when there\u2019s a big group a round can easily cost \u00a350.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you end up being one of the first to buy a round for everyone, you\u2019re lucky if all the people you\u2019ve bought a drink for are still there when it comes to their turn.\u201d<\/p>\n
