Celtic have managed to ensure that there will not be a match played next season in which their players are not wearing green as the club today officially unveiled their European/alternative jersey for the upcoming campaign.
After releasing a home shirt in the traditional white/green hoops, and then releasing an away kit of hoops in two different shades of green, things are going to be a bit awkward whenever Celtic have to play Hibs next season as the alternative is a bright shade of green with black shorts.
The idea is that the home kit is predominantly white, while the away kit is darker, but there's no way this isn't going to be an issue at some point in the season. That said, the jersey isn't a bad one, as the neon green is far less offensive than the yellow or pink we've seen in recent seasons.

So there you have it.
As with all of Celtic's jerseys this season it features acknowledgement to the 50th anniversary of the 1967 European Cup win in Lisbon, and the fact that it's literally just green means it will no doubt be popular among the supporters even if it causes a few problems against Hibs and other sides who wear green.
