This Celtic FC Umbro away shirt from the 1998-2000 cycle—a design that was kept for two seasons, as was common at the time—belongs to one of the most intense periods of the rivalry with Rangers: in May 1998, Celtic won the league title that put an end to their eternal rival's streak of nine consecutive championships, the coveted "nine in a row," sparking a historic celebration at Celtic Park. Martin O'Neill had not yet arrived at the dugout—that would happen in 2000—but the team competed strongly in the Scottish Premier League and maintained their presence in European competition, during the years when Henrik Larsson was establishing himself as a club legend, Lubo Moravcik dazzled in midfield, and the green and white identity connected, as always, with the Irish diaspora around the world. The garment moves away from the club's usual green and white, featuring the characteristic design of Umbro, the English brand that outfitted Celtic during those years. Without a nameset, it is a size XL and is a unique piece in stock.
