When Henrik Larsson first arrived at Celtic 25 years ago, few imagined the dreadlocked Swede would go on to be regarded as one of the club's greatest ever players.
On July 25, 1997, Celtic boss Wim Jansen secured arguably the greatest bargain of the century, when Henrik Larsson signed from Feyenoord for a cut-price fee of £650,000. Initially, however, it looked as if the Parkhead side had paid well over the odds.
In Larsson's competitive debut, away to Hibs at Easter Road, the legendary forward, who had entered the pitch as a late sub, had the Hoops faithful holding their heads in their hands after passing the ball to opposition player Chic Charnley who duly smashed the ball into the back of the Celtic net. The score line ended 2-1 to Hibs.
