The Hoops’ went into bed with the company in October 2022, allowing supporters to bid on official shirts worn by players in games.

For example, several tops from the most recent Glasgow derby were able to be purchased.

Celtic put Rangers to the sword in a dominant 3-0 victory at the beginning of the month, with goals coming from Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Callum McGregor.

Every match-worn shirt that was for sale from the game has now gone to the highest bidder.

Kyogo’s signed, match-worn shirt from the clash went for over a grand, as did skipper McGregor’s.

Maeda’s sold for a hefty £570, with Paulo Bernardo’s going for £526.

While these tops are billed as ‘match-worn’, however, they are sometimes just the player’s spare shirt from the game.

Regardless, supporters seem to be lapping up the opportunity to get their hands on the jerseys, paying some sizeable fees to do so.

How long this partnership lasts remains to be seen, but the money the club makes from the shirts goes into its charitable arm, the Celtic FC Foundation.

The Foundation does tremendous work to uphold Celtic’s key values and ensure that those in need receive the support they require and deserve.
