A new image has emerged featuring Scott Brown, Leigh Griffiths and Kieran Tierney in next season’s Celtic home kit.
Yesterday social media started to pick up on images that looked authentic rather than the usual photo-shop efforts than fans like to share online.
So far there has been a mixed reaction to the new kit with some fans unhappy that the hoops appear to be broken on the sleeves of the shirt.
Kinda hard to get a Celtic strip wrong, but… I liked the mock up that appeared online with the black socks and trim and retro 80s collar. Don’t like the actual one. Collar makes it look like a pyjama top and sponsor doesn’t look good. pic.twitter.com/n6cfGlOnZb

New Balance will officially launch the kit on Thursday with part of the pre-launch campaign to generate interest and anticipation through social media ‘leaks’.
All of the publicity pictures will already have been taken with the strip likely to be available at in the week before the Scottish Cup Final with Motherwell.
An away strip will be launched in June ahead of the school holidays.
A non green strip is likely to avoid a colour clash with Hibs, Celtic are expected to play in last season’s pink/lilac top in today’s match at Easter Road.
