Umbro

This is the classic 1997–99 Celtic home shirt, produced by Umbro and sponsored by the manufacturer themselves. The shirt features Celtic's iconic green and white hoops, with Umbro's late-90s template adding subtle diamond detailing to the sleeves and a clean v-neck collar — a refined take on one of football's most recognisable designs. The Umbro sponsor sits boldly across the chest, a reminder of an era when the manufacturer's deal was prominent enough to replace a commercial sponsor entirely. A small "Scottish Premier League Champions 1997/98" pennant embroidered on the chest makes this particular version a collectors' favourite, marking one of the most significant seasons in the club's modern history. Notable players to wear this shirt included: - Henrik Larsson - Paul Lambert - Jackie McNamara - Lubo Moravčík - Stephane Mahe - Jonathan Gould Worn during Wim Jansen's transformative tenure and into the early Vengloš period, this shirt represents a pivotal moment for Celtic — most notably the 1997/98 title win that stopped Rangers' pursuit of ten-in-a-row. Widely regarded as one of the most beloved Celtic shirts of the modern era among supporters.
