Henrik Larsson's Return To Celtic Park Will Give You Goosebumps

Henrik Larsson's Return To Celtic Park Will Give You Goosebumps

On this day in 1997, Henrik Larsson signed for Celtic. He went on to become their greatest ever player.

Celtic's legendary striker Henrik Larsson received a rapturous welcome on his return to Celtic Park last year.

Larsson, who signed from Feyenoord for just £650,000 in 1997, spent seven incredibly successful years at the club where he scored 174 goals in 221 appearances.

I mean, just look at the following stats. This man was a machine back in the 90's.

Larsson forged a special relationship with the fans during that time and today, he was given an incredible reception on a special day for midfielder Scott Brown.

With just half an hour to play, another Celtic legend, Martin O'Neil, decided to bring on the 46-year-old in a memorable moment for those in attendance.

Just listen to the reception he receives after replacing Charlie Mulgrew. What a moment.

Celtic's official Twitter account soon announced his arrival on social media and as expected, fans went nuts.


Scott Brown's testimonial eventually finished 2-2 and Larsson was close to netting in the second half, but was denied by goalkeeper Conor O'Malley.

He then produced a very wayward free-kick, which were never his best attribute during his playing days.

We're pretty sure he'd still do a job for Celtic, nowadays.
