Video: Larsson Scores A Hat-Trick, On This Day

21 years ago today, Henrik Larsson scored a hat-trick against Dunfermline in an emphatic 5-0 win. Hartson and Agathe grabbed the other goals to complete the rout.

Larsson opened the scoring with a header from close range, following Alan Thompson’s corner. The super Swede then made it 2-0, volleying home Hartson’s cross. Hartson switched from provider to finisher, latching onto Thompson’s deflected free kick, before Henrik was back among the goals to complete his hat trick. Didier Agathe concluded the scoring in the second half, with a fine finish after Thompson’s neat back heel.

What a terrific team Celtic fans were able to enjoy watching back then.
