According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic manager Neil Lennon wants to bring Henrik Larsson and Johan Mjallby to Celtic Park this summer.

It has been reported that Celtic manager Lennon is considering bringing club legend Larsson to the Hoops in a coaching role.

Lennon is also claimed to be looking at bringing his former assistant manager Mjallby to the Glasgow giants as well.

“Lennon and Larsson have met several times in recent months, playing golf and also both attending a recent glitzy Celtic Foundation dinner in London,” adds the report in The Scottish Sun.

Good move from Neil Lennon?

Mjallby worked with Lennon at Celtic in his first spell as the manager of the Hoops, and the return of the former Sweden international central defender to the Glasgow giants will be welcomed by the fans.

Larsson is one of the greatest strikers in Celtic history, and if he comes back to the Hoops in a coaching capacity, then the fans will simply love it.

The former Sweden international could help the Hoops in attack, and players like Leigh Griffiths and Odsonne Edouard will only get better as strikers working with him and getting his advice.

Celtic won the domestic treble for the third season in a row in 2018-19, and the Bhoys will be determined to repeat their success in 2019-20.
