This weekend’s pre-derby delight for Celtic supporters will come from an interview clip that began to circulate via Sky Sports with Henrik Larsson.Forever immortal in these parts, the King of Kings—possibly due to his 242 goals in 315 games over seven incredible years at Parkhead—will always be remembered.
The Swede had an impressive collection of medals at the club, including four Scottish Premiership crowns, two Scottish Cups, and two Scottish League Cup trophies. However, his achievements in the Champions League and UEFA Cup, particularly the Road to Seville, will never be topped.
Twenty years after Larsson left Celtic, Sky Sports has now released a teaser for an interview with him that Chris Sutton recorded. The conversation takes place prior of our upcoming
Anyone willing to watch the full interview will be able to do so on Sky Sports Football from 10 a.m. on Sunday, ahead of the match build-up for the clash against Rangers commencing one hour later.
Unfortunately, the broadcaster has only released a small percentage of what is to come from Larsson; however, in the small clip from Sky Sports, there is plenty of insight to be heard about his special relationship with Celtic and the wider support.
First asked about how he is viewed when he goes back to Glasgow, Larsson replied: “I’m quite big there, yes!”
Sutton then described that as ‘special’, to which his old colleague stated: “I feel blessed that people still remember me after 20 years, and that means that you left a mark on someone or in the game. You did something, you will be in the history books, and as a person, you want to leave something good behind.”
Truthfully, Larsson left more than just a mark behind in Glasgow, with his impact at Celtic coming under something more along the lines of a legacy that will forever be enshrined in history.
Come Sunday, plenty of fans will be tuning into his full interview, which is bound to bring back emotional memories of the indeed special time he spent at Parkhead.
