Celtic have released their home kit for the 26-27 season, with the design conceived as a tribute to the sixtieth anniversary of the club's European Cup victory, according to Footy Headlines.
The specialist kit-tracking publication reported the release, though no further design details were included in the initial wire signal at the time Touchline processed it.
The anniversary in question marks six decades since Celtic became the first British club to win the European Cup, a milestone that remains the defining achievement in the club's history. That 1967 side, assembled entirely from players born within thirty miles of Glasgow, defeated Internazionale in Lisbon and entered football folklore as the Lisbon Lions. Any kit produced under that banner carries considerable weight with a support for whom the memory is not merely historical but actively felt.
Kit releases tied to anniversary years have become a considered commercial and cultural exercise for clubs with deep European pedigree. For Celtic, whose hooped home strip is one of the most recognisable in world football, the challenge is always to honour the template while giving the anniversary edition sufficient distinction to stand apart.
Further details on the design, the manufacturer's treatment of the commemorative elements, and the official release date had not been confirmed in the wire at the point of publication. Touchline will update this piece as more information becomes available.
