Larsson rules out Hoops return

Former Celtic striker Henrik Larsson has ended speculation linking him with a return to Parkhead by signing a new one-year contract at Helsingborg.

The Swedish veteran agreed to the new deal this morning.

Larsson, 36, established himself as a Hoops legend during his spell in Scotland from 1997 to 2004.

He had been linked with a return to Celtic during the January transfer window but opted to commit himself to staying in Sweden.

Helsingborg sporting director Bo Nilsson told PA Sport: “We are very happy he is staying with us.”
