Age is no barrier as 43-year-old ex-Celtic striker Henrik Larsson scores in Sweden

JOE

Some footballers never lose their goalscoring touch, and Henrik Larsson is one of that number…

The former Celtic star recently watched teenage son Jordan score his first professional goal, and that clearly gave him the desire to show he’s still got his famous finishing instincts.

Now manager of Helsingborg in his native Sweden, Larsson masterminded a 7-1 friendly win over Malmo, even having time to bring himself off the bench to score the final goal.

His neat left-footed finish will remind fans of his time in Glasgow, where he became the third-highest goalscorer in Celtic history.
