Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton took to social media this week to share his emotions following a special night honouring Celtic legend Henrik Larsson. The event, hosted at the SEC Armadillo, brought fans up close and personal with Larsson and a host of other Celtic icons to celebrate the Swede’s remarkable legacy, 20 years after his departure from the club.
The evening featured tributes from Sutton and a stellar cast of ex-teammates, including Johan Mjällby, Neil Lennon, and legendary manager Martin O’Neill. Sharing stories and memories from their time at Celtic, the former players captured the magic of an era that saw Larsson cement his place as one of the greatest players in Celtic history.
Chris Sutton, now a Sky Sports pundit, took to social media after the event to post a heartfelt photo of himself alongside Larsson, O’Neill, Lennon, and Mjällby, captioned with “I love these guys.” Fans were quick to react, with many echoing Sutton’s sentiments and reflecting on the impact this group had on some of Celtic’s most iconic moments.
The tribute night proved to be a resounding success, showcasing Larsson’s enduring connection to the Celtic faithful. Known as “The King of Kings,” Larsson’s 242 goals for the club remain the stuff of legend, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of supporters.
It’s always special when former Celts reunite, and this gathering was no exception. For fans lucky enough to attend, the night was a reminder of the incredible memories forged during Larsson’s unforgettable seven years in Glasgow.
