Celtic fans were forced to wait to get their hands on a new limited edition shirt today but for many it was worth.
The Parkhead side will release a new shirt later this month to coincide with its 135th anniversary. Supporters attempting to pre-order the 'origins' kit were put in a queue as thousands descended on the club website to spend their hard earned cash. It is labelled as their fourth kit and will be in shops on March 16 which will allow Celtic to wear it two days later when they host Lee Johnson's Hibernian side at Parkhead in the league.
Celtic launched the new emerald green jersey just 12 hours after defeating Robbie Neilson's Hearts side in the east end of Glasgow. Ange Postecoglou's side retained their nine-point lead at the top of the league after goals from Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi and Sead Hakšabanović gave them a 3-1 victory over the third-placed Jambos.
At the time of writing fans were able to get through to the website to pre-order the new jersey after an eight-minute wait in a queue.
