UPDATE: An image of the official Celtic away kit for the 2024/25 campaign appears to surfaced online, and it is indeed a throwback to the Seville-era alternative kit, with a modern twist.
As shared by Everything Celtic across their social media platforms, the reported away kit shares the same deep yellow and dark green colour palette Footy Headlines spoke of some time ago - with the same Celtic knots design across the front that features on the 2024/25 home kit's collar.

Not quite the Football Manager-designed fitting the original story discusses below, then.
As per the replies on Everything Celtic's post, fans appear divided at this early stage. Assuming this is the official away kit, though, it's sure to sell in the same numbers kits do year after year.
But what do you think? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
Original story: As the new Celtic home kit for the 2024/25 campaign hits store shelves, supporters are already adjusting their focus to the club's as-yet unveiled away kit for next season.
As per prolific football leak site Footy Headlines, the colour scheme for the next Celtic away kit is expected to be yellow and green, akin the alternative kits the club has used in years gone by.
One fan has now used Football Manager 2024 to adapt the neon pinstriped concept shirt that's been doing the rounds online in recent weeks, diluting that kit's fluorescent hues to depict a warmer shade of yellow, and sharpening the green as it features on the badge, sponsor and signature adidas stripes.
Here's the outcome:
"No clue what [the new away kit] will look like, but I made this for my own use in Football Manager," said the Reddit user responsible for the above.
Despite the mock-up neon number failing to hit the mark with many would-be buyers, the small adjustments made above appear to have captured the imagination of supporters.
"I’d happily buy that," said one Reddit user.
"Hark back to the 2002/2003 away kit. Love it," said another.
Assuming the green-yellow combination does return for the 2024/25 campaign, it will follow Celtic's New Balance 2019/20 away kit which is best associated with their last-gasp win against Lazio in Rome.
Other memorable iterations of the palette include the 2002/03 season, wherein Henrik Larsson et al donned the colours on the road to Seville; and the 2000/01 campaign when Martin O'Neill's men clinched a domestic treble.
On the subject of the new home kit, it's understood the top runs small (in 'slim fit' style) with a number of fans said to have returned their original purchase to size up - something to bare in mind if you're considering picking one up for yourself.
