Henrik Larsson says he was offered the Celtic job in 2015

Celtic fans hold former striker Henrik Larsson in high esteem after he helped their side to four league titles and four domestic cups during seven seasons at Parkhead.

The Swede scored 242 goals in 313 appearances for the Hoops, stopped Rangers from winning a 10th consecutive league title, and is without a doubt a Celtic legend.

Neil Lennon was keen to add Larsson to his managerial team back in June, but the former striker could have been in the Celtic dugout four years ago had things worked out.

He has revealed to Chris Sutton in a Daily Mail exclusive how he was offered the job in 2015 but wasn’t convinced to take up the offer after talks with owner Dermot Desmond.
