Celtic new third kit slammed by fans as it's labelled 'absolutely disgusting'

Celtic fans really are not happy with the new third kit released by the club.

The nine-in-a-row seekers unveiled the new strip at the first ever Celtic Festival in Glasgow.

The design leaked earlier in July and received a mixed response even then, reports The Daily Record.

But not even the modelling efforts of Scott Brown, Ryan Christie, James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard could win everyone over to the daring silver and pink effort.

And while we're sure there are plenty who will rush to snap up the kit, the replies to the club's Twitter account make painful reading for New Balance.

@marcmcb11 said: "Delete or I will go to the police."

@shayconaghan said: "Announce record-low sales for any football top, ever."

@johnfer7 wrote: "Dear new balance, cheers for the final bam up, with this monstrosity of a top."

@oisin71 said: "That is absolutely disgusting."

@scottw1985 added: "Worst Celtic strip i've ever seen! If your shelling out 50 notes for this you need your head looking at!"

@Tonba10 wrote: "This strip isn’t bad enough to be considered cool in 20 or 30 years but is absolutely honking enough to be a diabolical design right now, making it comfortably the worst Celtic strip ever and I for one am willing to fight its designer in a trial by combat."

However, it wasn't all negativity from the Hoops faithful.

@Shiv1888 simply said: "Not bad."
