Some Celtic fans have been talking about the latest Henrik Larsson video that went viral on social media.

King of…..cool .

The word Legend is often overused in football but Legend doesn’t seem a high enough accolade for Henrik. The guy had everything – the complete player without any ego

Shut it, I’m not crying ? Genius, what a time to be a Celtic fan.

Was Larsson the greatest Celtic striker in history?
Absolutely!
Not for me
The greatest to pull on the hoops imo

Larsson joined Celtic from Feyenoord in the summer of 1997. He stayed at Parkhead for seven years and ended up leaving the club in the summer of 2004, departing for Spanish giants Barcelona. He later also had a spell at Manchester United after joining on loan from Helsingborg in 2007.
What do we think?
Larsson won four Scottish top-flight titles with the Hoops. He also helped the club win the League Cup two times. He was part of the side that had reached the UEFA Cup final in 2003 and despite the defeat to Porto, scored twice in that game.
All those achievements make Larsson a club legend, while it is clear that Celtic fans still remember him fondly.
