A special new Celtic kit is thought to have been "leaked" on social media.

Images of a new dark green away kit have emerged online today.

It is said that the jersey is a "leaked" photo of a potential new strip, which had originally been designed for next season.

However, it has been reported that the kit could be worn in Celtic's closest game to St. Patrick's Day this year, which would be Hibs at Parkhead on Saturday March 18.

Circulating on Twitter, an image of a bottle green Adidas Celtic away kit emerged.

From the pic, the kit looked to have a collar, with the Irish flag around the edges of it.

The Adidas stripes looked to be a slightly lighter shade of green than the darker main colour itself. The same goes for the Adidas logo, the Dafabet sponsor, and the Celtic badge.

On the latter, it appeared to be the biggest difference in this kit.

It ditched the regular Hoops badge, with the star and circular style in favour of a throwback to the club's Irish roots with a four-leaf clover.

The kit can be seen hanging on a JD Sports hanger, although cannot be found on the retailer's website.

There has been no confirmation from either JD or the club about the jersey.

Meanwhile, Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has declared that midfielder Reo Hatate has "gone to another level" over the last four weeks.

The 25-year-old, who was awarded Scottish Premiership Player of the Month for February, scored four goals and provided one assist across all competitions recently.

He was also influential as the Hoops defeated rivals Rangers 2-1 in the League Cup final at Hampden.

And the Australian has lavished praise on the Japanese playmaker, even claiming he can go up "another couple of levels".
