Celtic, as a business, sell millions of pounds worth of merchandise every year. The superstore is in-house with buyers at the ready.
There’s always scope for collaboration with other companies. We’ve seen Celtic team up with the likes of Eden Mill for their own line of Gin and whisky recently – which has been a big hit. We’ve also seen some quite bizarre collaborations and just weird items in general pass through the Celtic store.
We thought we’d a top five of the weirdest things Celtic are selling or have sold in the recent past.
So here goes!
5. The Celtic Pillow – £65
Yes, you can drool on a comfortable looking, but expensive Celtic pillow! This is a collaboration with Sleep Angel and it’s one of those deals where the club allows the company to use the logo and smack on a higher price for the item.
We can’t vouch for its comfiness but I don’t know how well I could sleep after shelling out £65 on a pillow!
4. Celtic Toblerone – £10
Ah, the Toblerone, not anybody’s favourite, but slap a ‘Celtic FC’ on the box and it becomes a Celtic Toblerone! What that means exactly, I don’t know. A chocolate bar like no other?
This has last minute Christmas present written all over it! ‘You need to get your Da’ something! Whit about this Celtic Toblerone!’
Fast forward to Christmas day and yer Da’ is beside the tree perplexed as to why he is now in possession of a staunch Toblerone rather than an Ange Postecoglou jumper.
3. The Celtic Hot Tub – £399 (Discontinued)
We were locked down for the best part of 18 months – I think everyone bought an inflatable hot tub or at least knew someone who did! However, were they staunch enough to have the Celtic hot tub?!
Yes, you could soak out your backdoor while making sure anyone peering out their windows knew – even when you weren’t watching the games – you were relaxing in your Celtic endorsed hot tub. Not missing a trick, the family models swimwear has been photoshopped to make sure the hot tub was green and white.
2. The Kiltee £25 (Discountinued)
Where do we start with the kiltee?
Well, for those of you who aren’t clued up on what it is – it’s a kilt, but also a tee!
In Glasgow terms, it’s a big nighty! I can’t imagine what the Celtic buyer was thinking when this infiltrated the Celtic superstore but I imagine this could have been popular among stag do participants – probably more rival fans too!
I’ve been part of some questionable fashion decisions over the years, but I draw the line at this! This would have been my number one, but there was a late admission that pipped this to the post.
Jonjoe Kenny Matchworn signed boot – £350
16 appearances, no medals and some outrageously bad performances – step up Jonjoe Kenny’s signed boot! This is STILL on the Celtic website as we speak. Celtic clearly going after a very specific audience – Jonjoe Kenny’s mum!
I have to be honest, I don’t think even Jonjoe Kenny wants this for FREE!
Celtic aspire to be a club of the people but they don’t have gauge fans when it comes to signed items. In this case, I can’t blame them for trying to recoup some of the money they paid to bring the player in on loan from Everton.
Have you bought any of the above or had one as a present?
