Odsonne Edouard Celtic kit number plea as fans demand historic change

Celtic fans are desperate for Odsonne Edouard to wear the historic number seven for the upcoming season.

The new home Adidas kit was launched on Friday and available for pre-order on the club's official website.

Fans flocked to get their hands on the strip and Celtic fans were speculating whether Edouard would make the switch to the legendary number for their Ten in a Row tilt.

Some of the best players players in the club's history have worn the number seven including Jinky Johnstone and Henrik Larsson.

It's been vacant since Patrick Roberts was allocated it during his loan spell from Manchester City.

And there's no denying fans were keen on the idea.

@Fitzy_072 said: "Honesty man, the thought of Odsonne Edouard holding up his new Number 7 shirt to announce his new contract."

@MithchellKeir added: "Ohh so hope it’s true Edouard is number 7 next season."

@Nich0L4 tweeted: "Edouard signing an extended deal with Celtic and getting the number 7 would make 2020 a good year in my view."

@DannyBrown82 said: "To be honest I wouldn't want him as number 7, I know it sounds daft but for me a number 7 is a certain type of player (anyone know what I mean?) He is definitely a number 9 but obviously Griff has that."

Edouard hinted last month he would be staying put for another season, amid interest from Arsenal and Leicester City.

He said: "Every season we want to win the title. This year is nine in a row, and next year I hope it is ten in a row.

"This will be historic for the club.

“It’s very important for the club, for the fans, for the team, for all of the staff.

"We now need to go back to work for next season, and I hope that we can win this title for ten in a row.”
