Celtic fans in Ireland will now need to go online to purchase their team’s merchandise.

After 22 years at the Jervis Center in Dublin, the Celtic Store no longer exists. The club announced in a declaration it will not be the renewal of the lease.

It’s an unfortunate situation for those who have made the trip to the club shop over the years. The Scottish club’s presence in Dublin is now coming to an end.

In a club statement, the club attributed it to “the huge change in our increasingly popular online store in recent years.” No doubt the closure of stores during the pandemic was a factor.

“Like many other organizations,” the statement said, they will focus “on growing its online channel.” The lease ends at the end of October.

Celtic says they have contacted their season ticket holders to let them know of the move. They encouraged supporters to continue serving them on store.celticfc.com.

The reaction

Celtic fan site ‘Celtsarehere’ cited the inevitable delay in shipping. Instead of the goods being shipped from the Dublin store, everything will now be sold out from Glasgow.

They say Irish fans are “unlikely” to “get their merchandise through the post so quickly” but understand it is likely a profitable move for the club.

On Twitter, one person remarked, “I just think it’s pretty neat that there is a Celtic store in Jervis.” The deletion now leaves only one club represented in the region.

Across the street, Liverpool has its central Dublin store in the Ilac center. It follows on from the pop-up LFC stores in Liffey Valley and Blanchardstown.
