Conor McGregor shows Celtic love as he poses in £160 tracksuit ahead of UFC return

Conor McGregor has shown his love for Celtic - posing on Instagram while wearing the club's new £160 tracksuit.

The MMA star posted a story on his profile which showed him grinning for the camera while beaming: "Up the Celtic and the Irish."

The Dubliner was wearing the new Celtic Origins Adidas tracksuit, which the club says is "Perfect for showing your support in style."

The range, which also features long and short sleeved t-shirts, was released to "celebrate the timeless bond between the club and the Emerald Isle."

The jacket and trousers both retail at £80 each on the Celtic website, which states the items are "born from a legacy shaped by Irish spirit."

It adds: "This regular-fit track jacket combines a bold green design with a funnel neck for a classic look. The knit construction offers a comfortable feel, while the club crest and embroidered trefoil add a touch of heritage. Perfect for showing your support in style.

"Finished with adidas branding, including the iconic Trefoil, and proudly adorned with the club crest, this stylish piece brings legacy into everyday life with effortless ease. "

The listing for the trousers adds: "Built for regular wear, these track pants strike a balance between durability and comfort. The adjustable drawcord waist lets you personalise the fit, while the regular cut allows for easy, unrestricted movement.

"Finished with signature adidas details, they carry the unmistakable mark of authentic sports heritage.

"Whether you're cheering on match day or relaxing off the pitch, these pants blend Celtic pride with effortless, modern style."

McGregor posted the clip on his Instagram story yesterday - amid rumours he is set to make a UFC return.

The Irishman has not fought inside the octagon since July 2021, when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier during their trilogy.

But he is rumoured to be returning for the UFC's International Fight Week event on July 11.

Max Holloway, who lost to McGregor in 2013, has offered him a chance of a rematch after 37-year-old McGregor missed out on a spot at the White House event in June.

Holloway lost the symbolic 'BMF' belt via unanimous decision to Charles Oliveira earlier this month and hopes to cash in on the return of McGregor, nicknamed Notorious.

McGregor's other Instagram stories yesterday and today saw him promoting two of his businesses.

He was seen pulling pints of Forged Irish Stout in a pub, before handing them out to thirsty revellers.

And he plugged his Notorious Cigars brand in other clips posted online.
