Some Celtic fans have been discussing the latest post that former Hoops star John Hartson relayed on Twitter.
Hartson shared a tweet that CelticBible had sent out. It had an image of Hartson, Chris Sutton and Henrik Larsson and their combined goalscoring record at Parkhead.
Hartson relayed this, saying that he was ‘happy to take part with the two main men’ during their time together at Parkhead. On seeing the former player’s tweet, many Celtic fans responded to what he had to say.

You didn’t just take part big man. You were just as important as Henrik and Chris. 3 legends.

Hartson was at Parkhead from 2001 until summer 2006. He had arrived at the club from Coventry and left the club to join West Bromwich Albion (via Transfermarkt).
What do we think?
Hartson was crucial to Celtic’s march to the final of the 2002/03 UEFA Cup. The campaign had seen the Welshman make 11 appearances in the UEFA Cup and he scored three goals, assisting just as many times (via Transfermarkt).
This shows that he was an impactful player at the club and he deserves immense credit for it.
