The Green Brigade has thanked CD Palestino for honouring them with the release of a third kit of green and white hoops. On the club website it is referenced as a Green Brigade shirt.
It really is an incredible act from the side that finished in fourth place in last season’s Chilean league, the equivalent of Kilmarnock in Scotland or Tottenham in the EPL.
Based in the capital of Santiago, CD Palestino had 71,000 followers on Twitter this morning and are bound to gain a few more fans worldwide on the back of their shirt launch.
Thank you to CD Palestino for this humbling tribute to the Celtic support and our special affinity with Palestine.
We wish them luck for the new season in the Chilean Primera Division and Copa Libertadores, as they represent the Palestinian people and cause in South America. https://t.co/ncghrk0oHa

Green and white hoops are one of the most recognised shirts in football with Celtic and Sporting Lisbon the main clubs to use that kit.
Shamrock Rovers and The New Saints of Wales use the same kit but across the world plain tops or stripes dominate with red, blue and black the preferred colours.
