Many Celtic fans have been responding to a tweet from their former striker Moussa Dembele who has wished club legend Henrik Larsson a happy birthday, sharing a photograph of the pair on the social media platform.
The Swede recently turned 49 and the Lyon striker was among those who paid tribute to the Celtic favourite. Larsson won four Scottish Premiership titles with the Hoops, as well as two Scottish League Cups and two Scottish Cups, while he also helped the club to the UEFA Cup final in 2002/03.
Following the post, here is how a sample of the club’s supporters responded:

Described as ‘one of the most wonderful footballers to have ever graced Scottish football’, it’s clear from the replies above just how highly the former striker is regarded by the club’s supporters, even now.
What is also clear is that Dembele is still loved by most of these fans – and understandably so, given he scored 51 goals in 94 appearances for the Hoops before he was sold in August 2018.
Judging by the responses from this sample of the Parkhead faithful we can assume this image has brought back some positive memories for those who follow the Hoops.
