The Story Behind the Shirt

The Celtic FC 1985-86 away jersey comes from one of the most dramatic seasons in the club’s history.

Managed by Davie Hay, Celtic were chasing their first Scottish league title since 1981–82. The race went down to the final day, with Celtic and Hearts level on 50 points after 36 matches. Hearts needed only a draw against Dundee to secure the championship, but two late goals from substitute Albert Kidd changed everything. Hearts lost 2–0 at Dens Park while Celtic produced a spectacular 5–0 victory over St Mirren at Love Street, giving Celtic the title on goal difference.

The season featured a remarkable Celtic squad including Brian McClair, Paul McStay, Murdo MacLeod, Danny McGrain, Tommy Burns, Roy Aitken and Mo Johnston. McClair was the club’s leading scorer, finishing the campaign with 29 goals in all competitions.

The away shirt itself has become part of Celtic’s visual history. Its green-and-white design was later revisited by Celtic and adidas for the club’s 2020/21 away kit, specifically drawing inspiration from the 1985/86 strip.

This is more than an old football shirt. It represents Celtic, championship drama, travelling supporters and the unmistakable culture of 1980s Scottish football.
