“Celtic has always held a special place in my heart. To come back and contribute in a new role is an incredible honour. I’m excited to work with the players, the coaching staff, and help the club continue its proud tradition of success.”

News of Larsson’s return sparked celebrations across social media, with thousands of supporters welcoming the club icon back. Fans believe his presence will provide a huge boost both on and off the pitch, particularly for the club’s young attacking players, who will now have the opportunity to learn from one of football’s greatest finishers.

Club officials believe Larsson’s appointment is another sign of Celtic’s commitment to building a winning culture while strengthening the connection between the club’s glorious past and its ambitious future.
