Former Celtic winger Aiden McGeady has told a story about overhearing a dressing room dust up between then-Celtic manager Martin O’Neill and legendary striker Henrik Larsson. McGeady, who came through the ranks at Celtic as a youth player, was working at Celtic Park on match day. In doing so, the youngster was well-placed to hear an explicit altercation between the pair.
Speaking to Open Goal Football Podcast with Si Ferry, Paul Slane and Kevin Kyle, McGeady told the story and also how Lisbon Lion John Clark stopped them from being discovered.
