Erik Sviatchenko, Callum McGregor, Scott Brown and Leigh Griffiths model the new Celtic kit

Celtic have unveiled the new home kit they will wear as they bid for a sixth successive Scottish Premiership title next season.

Sports manufacturer New Balance officially revealed the shirt, which has been launched as part of the 'Like No Other' campaign for 2016-17.

The legendary hoops have been refreshed in fern green and optic white, finished with gold trim around the sleeve cuffs and shoulder seams as a testament to the club's success.

'A club like no other', the iconic words of former player and manager Tommy Burns, are displayed on the back neck tape and the inner hem.

Erik Sviatchenko says Celtic's search for a new manager is not a distraction and he has faith in the board to bring in the right man. Erik Sviatchenko says Celtic's search for a new manager is not a distraction and he has faith in the board to bring in the right man.

Richard Wright, general manager of New Balance Football said: "This new kit combines the history of Celtic FC with the modern advancements of New Balance's research and development.
