Supporters of the Glasgow side weren’t too enamoured of the current season’s strip, and have voiced their displeasure with next term’s outfit as well - particularly the amount of white space on the sleeves.

Here’s a round-up of what Hoops fans have been saying on social media...

@CelticOK reckoned: “That collar looks more out of place than Marvin Commper at the awards night.”

@colnrodgers tweeted: “Broken Hoops aren’t Hoops. This needs nipped in the bud, before we know it we won’t have any hoops at all. You had one simple job. Bring back Nike!”

@spunkphone had an idea: “Dunno why we don’t do similar to what Bayern Munich fans have done and protest the broken hoops...”

@Redbhoy1888 stated: “Broken hoops on a Celtic shirt should always be a no-no. Overall the worst home shirt in years. I had hoped the leak wasn’t legit.”

@jedmarr8892 said: “Not 100 per cent keen on the new kit as the hoops and broken, but I’m sure I’ll like it soon enough. It’s a Celtic top at the end of the day.”
