Celtic's greatest modern striker — 174 goals in 221 appearances for the club and a Champions League finalist with Barcelona.

Henrik Larsson is regarded by many as Celtic's greatest ever player. In seven seasons at the club he scored 174 goals in 221 appearances, winning four league titles and the League Cup twice. He was named Sweden's all-time greatest player and won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2006. His two substitute appearances at the 2006 World Cup — both of which were match-changing — were his final international performances.

His two substitute appearances at the 2006 World Cup changed two separate games — widely called the most impactful substitute appearances in World Cup history.
