Celtic FC 1987-88 Retro Jersey – Centenary Season Home Shirt

Celebrate one of the most memorable seasons in Celtic Football Club history with this Celtic FC 1987-88 retro jersey, inspired by the famous green-and-white hoops worn during the club’s centenary season.

The 1987-88 campaign marked 100 years of Celtic Football Club — and it became an extraordinary season on the pitch as Celtic won both the Scottish League and Scottish Cup under legendary manager Billy McNeill.

For Celtic supporters searching for a 1987-88 Celtic shirt, Celtic centenary jersey, vintage Celtic FC jersey or classic 1980s Celtic shirt, this is a particularly special piece of Celtic history.

Celtic’s 1987-88 Centenary Season

Few Celtic seasons have such a powerful combination of history and nostalgia.

Founded in 1887, Celtic reached its centenary in 1987-88. The club celebrated the occasion with a special centenary identity, while Billy McNeill’s team delivered a memorable season by winning the Scottish League and Scottish Cup.

The squad featured some of the most recognisable Celtic players of the late 1980s, including Paul McStay, Roy Aitken, Frank McAvennie and Andy Walker.

For supporters who remember Celtic Park during this period, the shirt immediately evokes a very different era of Scottish football — traditional stadiums, classic Umbro-era styling and Celtic’s unmistakable green-and-white hoops.

The Classic Celtic Green-and-White Hoops

The defining feature of this retro jersey is, of course, Celtic’s iconic green-and-white horizontal hoops.

The design is immediately identifiable as Celtic and captures the visual character of 1980s Scottish football.

The centenary period also makes this shirt particularly interesting to collectors. Celtic used a special commemorative crest for the 1987-88 and 1988-89 seasons, marking the club’s 100th anniversary.

It is therefore much more than a generic Celtic retro shirt — it represents a specific and historically important moment in the club’s history.

Billy McNeill’s Celtic

The 1987-88 season also has a special connection with Billy McNeill, one of the defining figures in Celtic history.

A legendary former Celtic captain and Lisbon Lion, McNeill returned to manage the club and guided Celtic to the league and Scottish Cup double during the centenary season.

That connection gives the shirt another layer of appeal for collectors of classic Celtic memorabilia.

A Celtic Shirt for Supporters Around the World

The appeal of this jersey extends far beyond Glasgow.

Celtic has one of the world’s most recognisable football identities, and supporters of the club can be found across Scotland, Ireland, the UK, North America, Australia, Europe and many other parts of the world.

For international supporters searching for a Celtic Glasgow retro jersey, Celtic 1987-88 shirt, Celtic centenary shirt or 1980s Celtic football jersey, this design offers a direct connection to one of the club’s most memorable seasons.

It also makes an excellent addition to a collection of classic Scottish football shirts.
