It has been the only blip in Celtic’s domestic campaign.
But Ange Postecoglou doesn’t go along with the theory that Celtic were off colour during their loss at St Mirren because of their all-grey strips. That 2-0 defeat in Paisley back in September is the only black mark for the champions so far. Celts are set to don the third-choice kit again against Stephen Robinson’s side – but the Australian isn’t buying into the belief he’s tempting fate.
That solitary loss against the Buddies was a wake-up call for the Parkhead side. Postecoglou issued a blunt assessment of their faults that afternoon but it has been the catalyst for a domestic run of 23 wins from their last 24 games. The grey strip brings to mind Manchester United’s jinxed top that prompted legendary boss Alex Ferguson to swap it for more traditional attire at half-time during their 3-1 loss to Southampton back in 1996.
