Greater Manchester Police are now probing the theft of the jersey with the number ten on the back.
The Umbro top was worn by the Parkhead club during the 1991/92 season where they finished in third place behind Hearts and Rangers.
A National Football Museum spokesperson said: “The National Football Museum can confirm that a football shirt was stolen from our third floor gallery during opening hours on Saturday."
"We are in contact with the lender of the shirt and the incident is being investigated by Greater Manchester Police."
We are working with @gmpolice on the matter. Any information would be greatly appreciated. 👇 https://t.co/5O2Df9aczn
