Over the course of a couple of hours late on Wednesday afternoon Celtic’s home shirt for the 23/24 season seems to have come to light.
A very little known Chilean Twitter account, Fang Yuan is being credited with the first image which looks like a real shirt rather than the concepts that fly around.
Having green strips on green hoops and white logos on white hoops seemed to be odd but with a new kit required every year there is only so much that can be done with a shirt that must be green and white hoops, nothing else is an option.

The Chicago Celtic Supporters Club picked up on the shirt which was quickly crossing the Atlantic to various supporter website and Footy Headlines.
A few checks from Footy Headlines gave it the go ahead, there may be a few minor modifications but the shirt that saw the light of day in Chile is bound to be flooding the streets of Scotland during the summer months and beyond.

Totes buying that. Dafabet as delete option, obvs. Loved the spoof ‘Picasso’ strips that did the rounds on April Fools Day too?
A proper Celtic jersey should have 7 green hoops. No more. No less. I cannot see the idea of the white crest/white sponsor on a white background working. On the telly they would both be rendered invisible. The sponsors will not stand for this.
Hail Hail
