Everything you need to know about Celtic’s squad numbers for the 2024/25 season and the shirts still up for grabs.

The iconic green and white Hoops have been worn by some of the best players in the world.

From Henrik Larsson to as far back as Jimmy Johnstone, the Celtic jersey has been adorned by stars who have brought much joy to the Parkhead stands and silverware to the Paradise trophy cabinet.

Now that we are well into the 2024/25 season and the January transfer window has closed, here is a comprehensive list of the current Celtic squad numbers.

We’ve also included a rundown of who has worn each number across the club’s history. Updates will be made when players come and go across the campaign.

1 – Kasper Schmeichel

Previously worn by: Joe Hart, Craig Gordon, Fraser Forster, Artur Boruc, Pat Bonner, Ronnie Simpson

The retirement of Joe Hart meant that the iconic goalkeeper number was available until the arrival of veteran stopper Kasper Schmeichel.

2 – Alistair Johnston

Previously worn by: Christopher Jullien, Johan Mjallby, Tom Boyd, Peter Grant, Danny McGrain, David Hay, Jim Craig

Worn by Alistair Johnston since his arrival at Celtic in January 2022, the Canadian full-back has won two league titles, two Scottish Cups and a Viaplay Cup.

3 – Greg Taylor

Previously worn by: Emilio Izaguirre, Stephane Mahe, Tom Boyd, Tommy Burns, Anton Rogan and Tommy Gemmell.

Signed as a replacement for Kieran Tierney, Greg Taylor has had a successful Celtic career wearing the number three jersey since 2019, racking up nine domestic honours.

4 – Gustaf Lagerbielke

Previously worn by: Carl Starfelt, Stephen McManus, Jackie McNamara, Roy Aitken, Peter Grant, Bobby Murdoch

The number four jersey hasn’t been kind to Gustaf Lagerbielke as the Swede has struggled to break into the Celtic team. Now out on loan to FC Twente.

5 – Liam Scales

Previously worn by: Virgil van Dijk, Gary Caldwell, Joos Valgaeren, Derek Whyte and the legendary Billy McNeill

Liam Scales has enjoyed a tremendous season at Celtic wearing the number five jersey after it looked like he could have been leaving the club last summer.

6 – Auston Trusty

Previously worn by: Bobo Balde, Peter Grant, Murdo McLeod and John Clarke

Lying free since the departure of Nat Phillips, the No.6 jersey was snapped up by American defender Auston Trusty when he signed for £6m on transfer deadline day.

Previously worn by: Leigh Griffiths, Giorgos Samaras, Chris Sutton, Harald Brattbakk, Charlie Nicholas, Frank McGarvey, John Hughes, Stevie Chalmers

Adam Idah has reclaimed the No9 shirt after his loan spell last season. The Republic of Ireland international striker did this famous number justice with nine goals in 19 appearances to help seal a league and Scottish Cup double in 2024.

10 – Nicolas Kuhn

Previously worn by: Moussa Dembele, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, John Hartson, Murdo McLeod, Tommy Burns, Bertie Auld

Taking over the squad number from the ill-fated spell of Albian Ajeti, Nicolas Kuhn has shown flashes of promise since his January 2024 move to Celtic from Rapid Vienna.

12 – Viljami Sinisalo

13 – Yang Hyun-jun

Previously worn by: Aaron Mooy, Sean Maloney, Pat Bonner, Peter Latchford

Taking over the 13 jersey from Mooy, Yang Hyun-jun has struggled to capture the form that persuaded Celtic to shell out £2m for his services in the summer of 2023.

14 – Luke McCowan

Previously worn by: David Turnbull, Stuart Armstrong, Paul Lambert, Frank McAvennie.

David Turnbull last wore the No.14 jersey before he was sold to Cardiff City. Now, boyhood Celtic fan and summer 2024 deadline day signing Luke McCowan has claimed the number.

15 – Jeffrey Schlupp

Previously worn by: Joe Hart (2021/22), Kris Commons, Phil O’Donnell, Bobby Petta, Alan McInally

Odin Thiago Holm relinquished the No.15 shirt after leaving on loan to Los Angeles FC in January 2025. Jeffrey Schlupp takes the jersey for the remainder of the season.

Since Yosuke Ideguchi left Celtic in January of this year, the No.21 is yet to find a player to fill it.

Not since Odsonne Edouard has the No.22 been successful at Celtic as Hyeokkyu Kwon struggles to carve out a career in Paradise since joining the club in 2023.

23 – Available

Previously worn by: Mikael Lustig, Stanislav Varga, Jonathan Gould.

Not seen on the pitch since the departure of Invincible Treble winner, Mikael Lustig, the Celtic fans will hope that Brendan Rodgers will sign a calibre of player that can bring that same level of success to the club to fill it.

24 – Johnny Kenny

Previously worn by: Tomoki Iwata, Lukasz Zaluska, Jean-Joël Perrier-Doumbé

25 – Available

Previously worn by: Alexandro Bernabéi, Shunsuke Nakamura, Lubomir Moravcik

Now that Alexandro Bernabei looks on his way out of Celtic, Rodgers could do well to unearth another Nakamura or Moravcik to fill this iconic number.

26 – Available

Previously worn by: Craig Gordon, Fraser Forster.

If Brendan Rodgers can find a goalkeeper or two of the ilk of Craig Gordon and Fraser Forster then the Celtic manager will be onto a winner.
