The Celtic Football Club, founded on 1 January 1887, is based in Glasgow and competes in the Scottish Premiership. Walkouts offers a curated selection of signed football shirts and memorabilia that reflects the club’s long history, from its charitable origins in the East End to its global supporter network. The club played its first match in May 1888 and established itself quickly in Scottish football.
Celtic’s home is Celtic Park, and the ground has been central to many landmark seasons, including the nine-in-a-row domestic run under Jock Stein. The club has claimed a record domestic haul, totalling 55 Scottish league championships, and its most famous continental achievement remains the 1967 European Cup, the Lisbon triumph that defines the Lisbon Lions era.
Green and white hoops have been synonymous with the club since 1903, and that kit continuity helps explain intense collector interest in specific seasons and commemorative runs. The team’s trophy cabinet and global reach are reflected in collector rankings, and the club is also ranked 45 by IFFHS, which collectors sometimes reference when cataloguing provenance.
Anniversary releases are prized for commemorative details and limited runs, for example the Centenary 1988 shirts with crest wreath trims and the 50 years Lisbon Lions 2017 editions that emphasised a gold star motif. These post-1970 releases are chased because they mark clear milestones and often arrived in smaller quantities than normal retail runs.
Season magnets include the 1966-67 European Cup winning campaign, the 2002-03 UEFA Cup run to the final in Seville, and the 2016-17 domestic treble, all seasons that created high demand for both match-worn and retail replicas. Iconic away designs also draw attention, notably the yellow away colours worn on the Lisbon campaign and the black away shirts associated with the Seville run, each tied to decisive matches and finals.
Collectors note that fanshop shirts, not only match-worn pieces, are actively collected; early retail runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases frequently command interest because they often predate large scale reprints. The club’s kit history includes supplier shifts and sponsor eras, and small manufacturing differences such as hoop alignment or trim stitchwork are often used to verify provenance. Many dealers and private collectors reference the 1966-67 season and the commemorative issues around 2017 when establishing rarity.
Provenance is vital, so items with an accompanying COA are favoured, and visually distinct pieces like the yellow away shirt from the Lisbon campaign are especially sought after. Whether searching for Lisbon-era replicas or shirts from the 2002-03 UEFA Cup final in Seville, Walkouts presents authenticated, signed and framed options alongside clear condition notes and occasional Free worldwide shipping. Browse our selection to compare pieces from 1966-67 and 2002-03 and find the signature or edition that fits your interest.
