Henrik Larsson, a name that echoes through the halls of Celtic history, is gearing up for a nostalgic journey back to the green fields of Glasgow. In an eagerly anticipated rendezvous, Larsson will sit down with his old striking partner, Chris Sutton, for a special interview before the Glasgow Derby on Sunday. Sky Sports is set to broadcast this exclusive chat, adding an extra layer of excitement to the already electrifying build-up to the match.
For those who were fortunate enough to witness Larsson’s magic during his seven-year spell at Celtic, his name brings back a flood of fond memories. And for the younger fans, those tales of Larsson’s goal-scoring prowess have become the stuff of legend.
Dubbed a world-class talent, Larsson’s value in today’s football economy would undoubtedly be astronomical. But to the Celtic faithful, he’s revered not just for his ability to find the back of the net. It was his unwavering dedication and affection for the club that truly set him apart, choosing to stay with Celtic at the peak of his career instead of chasing fame and fortune elsewhere—a rarity in modern football. From stopping the ten, to a treble and the UEFA Cup final where he scored both goals, he was simply superb!
After bidding farewell to Celtic at the age of 32, Larsson didn’t just fade into the background. He proved his mettle on the grandest stage of them all, playing a pivotal role for Barcelona in their European Cup triumph over Arsenal. Coming off the bench, Larsson turned the game on its head, earning him accolades from teammates and fans alike.
He was a player with immense quality and class, and maybe the last world class player to put on a Celtic jersey for such a long period of time.
We look forward to the interview.
