Erik Sviatchenko appears to be a fan of Celtic’s new shirt……but plenty of supporters aren’t.

Celtic fans display their support during the UEFA Champions League Group B match between Celtic and Paris Saint Germain at Celtic Park on September 12, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic unveiled their kit for the 2018-19 campaign and suffice to say that quite a lot of fans aren’t crazy about it.

The Hoops released a promotional video via their official Twitter account, in which a host of their players sport the new shirt.

But fans of the Parkhead club are raging about the sleeves and how the hoops do not connect with other parts of the jersey.

Here is how Celtic supporters reacted to the announcement:

But one man who is a big fan is centre-back Erik Sviatchenko, who made his feelings perfectly clear by reacting to the unveiling with the use of two emojis.

It remains to be seen if the Dane ever gets to wear the shirt that he seemingly likes.

The 26-year-old re-joined former club FC Midtjylland on a half-season loan deal in January and time will tell whether manager Brendan Rodgers takes him back to Parkhead or makes it a permanent move.

Celtic have an abundance of centre-back options, and Rodgers will surely further bolster his stable of defenders this summer, and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Sviatchenko never gets to wear this shirt.
