On 10 July 2020 Celtic unveiled the first adidas shirt in their history, launched under the slogan “One Decade In The Making”. The hoops wrap all the way round the body and the three stripes sit on the shoulders. The gold on the collar, cuffs, 1967 star and Dafabet logo had one clear purpose: ten league titles in a row, something never done in Scotland.

The plan fell apart early. Ferencváros won 2-1 at Celtic Park and shut the Champions League door. Neil Lennon left in February, and Gerrard’s Rangers were crowned unbeaten champions, 25 points clear. One late joy remained: the delayed 2019/20 Scottish Cup final, played on 20 December, won on penalties against Hearts to seal a fourth straight treble.

Here at Hoopster, this is the shirt made for ten that stopped at nine.
