Larsson gives Celtic ‘Battle of Britain’ boost

The Celt’s 1-0 advantage for the second leg at Ewood Park was somewhat harsh on Blackburn who looked the superior team overall, but the Premiership outfit were kept out by Douglas and Celtic's hard-working defence.

Larsson’s late strike also broke Ally McCoist's record of 21 goals for a Scottish club in Europe. But Celtic were on the back foot for much of the match against a side set up superbly by former Rangers boss Souness.
