CELTIC LEGEND Henrik Larsson has been named as one of the Swedish celebrities who have taken part in a sailing expedition across the Atlantic for the reality TV show “Across the Atlantic”. Last night a rudderless Celtic saw our Champions League ambitions sink without trace and we posted out the while Henrik spent the last year or so looking for work as a coach he was completely overlooked by Celtic he got the call from Barcelona.
His old teammate has now been left to sail Celtic throw choppy waters as he seeks to deal with want away players, supporter anger at the latest European mishap and maybe even pressure from upstairs as the first calls have been heard for replacing him as manager.
The decision to appoint Gavin Strachan to assist John Kennedy in the coaching department – when it is rumoured that Lennon wanted to bring in his former team-mate Tommy Johnston – has done little to impress just about anyone. Strachan pedigree in the game is modest to say the least and he has had no Celtic connections personally, other than his dad managed the club.
Johnston ironically enough was the guy who did the dirty on Larsson in that strange story concerning the King of Kings talking over at Southend Utd. Their chairman was all set to go with he project but Johnston’s involvement was crucial as he had experience in buying and selling players in the lower leagues south of the Border.
Having given Larsson his word, Johnston pulled out to take up a better opportunity elsewhere, much to Henrik’s annoyance.
Now though things have worked out well for the Super Swede, who if things go wrong on the high seas will be able to complete the journey on foot!
“Am I really going to watch a Swedish tv show with Henrik Larsson and some other celebs, where they are sailing over the Atlantic,” Liam @LK95_ asked rhetorically on social media. “You bet I am”…
Är det inte en jätteskräll att Henke är med i ”Över Atlanten”? pic.twitter.com/szKXyoOgRy
