The modern v-neck kit is accented with sky blue and white on its sleeve cuffs and inside neckline. A series of light blue vertical lines run on along the lower front of the shirt. The line “Everywhere, Anywhere” from the fan song and club anthem ‘Follow, Follow’ is printed inside the jersey.
- Third: The thidd kit features a simplistic design in red and white. The line “We Will Follow On” from the fan song and club anthem ‘Follow, Follow’ is printed inside the jersey.

Notes:

- ^ Since the 2019–20 Scottish Cup was postponed and could not be completed by the UEFA registration deadline of 3 August 2020, the spot awarded to the Scottish Cup winners (Europa League second qualifying round) was passed to the second-placed team, while the fourth-placed team also qualified for European competition.
