Celtic have released a short clip from their 'An Evening with Henrik Larsson' event wherein the club's Gerry McCulloch sat down with Henrik Larsson, Chris Sutton and Martin O'Neill among others.
When asked by McCulloch to dissect his most famous Celtic goal – his lofted chip against Stefan Klos during Celtic's 6-2 win over Rangers in 2000 – Larsson explored each decision beat-by-beat before nonchalantly declaring that chipping the goalkeeper felt like the right thing to do.
Former teammate Sutton, who assisted for the Swedish striker in build-up, clarified how difficult making that decision is, suggesting Larsson is the only player he knows that would have contemplated even trying it.
"The margin of error for getting that wrong is so fine," admitted Sutton, sitting next to his former manager O'Neill, with Larsson on the far side. "I mean, I wouldn't have dared do that…"
With an emotionless, deadpan expression, O'Neill interjected: "You couldn't have done it."
And as Sutton, Larsson and the crowd burst into laughter, O'Neill added: "Never mind daring doing it."

Elsewhere in the conversation, Larsson recalls being made to run laps around the pitch during pre-season for missing similarly-poised efforts on goal, which again evokes a comical exchange between the Celtic legend and his former manager.
