Kris Commons brought the curtain down on his Celtic career in style this afternoon.

Rather than have a five or ten minute cameo role with the first team the goal-scoring midfielder shared a pitch with some of the greatest players to have worn the hoops in the last 20 years.

Although he was in the Lubo Moravcik IX as ever it was Henrik Larsson that was the main attraction as 60,000 fans turned the clock back.

Commons got on the scoresheet but Henrik’s Heroes took the honours with the main man scoring a hat-trick in a 5-2 win.

With some spring sunshine, three trophies on parade and a cast of legends it was a day of celebration for the fans.

Commons won five SPFL medals during his stint at Celtic scoring 91 goals in the process as Neil Lennon’s side claimed domestic dominance with the former Derby County man one of the driving forces behind the success.
