    Looked a bit off it today, not sure I’d have him in the first X1 at the moment. Willing to give him time to get up match fitness’s tho.

    Still our most handsome option up top.

    I think the header you’re thinking of was the semi final of the Scottish cup against Dundee United at Hampden.

    Met him a couple of times in Sweden, and he is a absolute gentleman. Chatty and it feels like talking to a mate after 4-5 bong hits.

    HIS appearances at Celtic Park may now be rare, but whenever Henrik Larsson does run on to the Paradise pitch wearing the Hoops, it conjures up countless happy memories of seven magnificent years for supporters lucky enough to have watched a legend of the club blossom.

    In 315 appearances for Celtic, the Super Swede scored 242 goals, putting him third in the all-time scoring records behind Bobby Lennox and the peerless Jimmy McGrory.

    For the player himself, he always welcomes the opportunity to return to a place he considers his football home, reminding him of seven memorable years in Glasgow.

    Eight days ago, he was there to pay tribute to Scott Brown, taking part in the testimonial match against Martin O’Neill’s Republic of Ireland side. And only the heroics of Irish goalkeeper, Conor O’Malley, denied the Celtic legend another goal at Paradise.

    While Scott Brown took centre-stage, with a packed Paradise paying tribute to the Celtic captain for almost 11 years of outstanding service to the club, there was also an outpouring of affection when Henrik Larsson emerged from the home dugout and ran down the touchline to warm up before coming on.

    “It’s tremendous, although it’s a little bit embarrassing too,” he admitted in an exclusive interview with the Celtic View, “but it’s a great feeling. I'm very grateful for that and that I still have that bond with the fans.

    “It always brings back happy memories whenever I’m here. I’ve always said that my seven years here were fantastic times together with the club. It always feel like I'm coming back home. Every time I get the opportunity and the privilege to come here is fantastic.

    “Nobody’s done what Scott has achieved as a captain in winning a Double Treble, and he will forever be there as the first one to do it,” added the Hoops great. “And this testimonial is well-deserved because he means a lot to the club.”

    While his place as a Celtic legend is forever assured, Henrik Larsson is also a supporter, and was happy to play that role at Hampden in the Scottish Cup final as Brendan Rodgers’ side secured a historic Double Treble.

    “I can enjoy it because I knew how important the cup final was,” he said. “I don’t feel as nervous now as everyone that is involved in it at the club, because it’s one thing having the chance to do it and doing it.

    “They’ve done it now and they should be immensely proud of it because it’s never easy. Starting off this season and having done it the year before, and to still have the determination and the willpower to go through it all again, is fantastic.

    “A treble is difficult enough – we did it back in 2001 - and then to do it twice is unbelievable. I take my hat off to everybody that is involved with the team – it’s fantastic.”

    Oft, Larsson and BBJ both after the livi job.

    Would be fantastic if they both teamed up and took them on.
