Larsson makes scoring return to action

First Published: Feb 29, 2000

Glasgow Celtic and Sweden striker Henrik Larsson has made a scoring return to action for the club's reserve team.

Larsson - Scotland's top scorer last season - is recovering quickly from a broken leg suffered in October that was thought to rule him out of Sweden's plans for Euro 2000 but the player is regaining fitness fast and may only be three weeks away from a return to the Celtic first team. A fit Larsson would be a certainty for Sweden's Euro 2000 squad and he scored last night in a 2-1 win against Motherwell for Celtic's under-21 side.
