Why is Mogwai on a football shirt?
Glasgow post-rock institution and lifelong Celtic fans, Mogwai take pride of place on our men's away shirt — the green-and-white hoops they grew up with.
For 2026/27 Cwmbran Celtic gave all four shirt-front slots to independent bands instead of selling them — because grassroots football and grassroots music are fighting the same fight. Both run on passion and tight budgets, and when either one goes, a town loses something it does not get back. So 10% of every shirt sold goes to Music Venue Trust.
