BT Sport will have Celtic’s greatest strike partnership of this century in place for tonight’s match against Bayern Munich.

Henrik Larsson will join Chris Sutton in the commentary box for the Champions League tie against the German giants.

While Sutton has embraced a new career in the media Larsson has kept a lower profile since quitting as Helsingborg manager a year ago.

In 2003 the duo teamed up against Bayern with the visitors celebrating at the end of the match after grinding their way to a 0-0 draw in match-day five of the 2003/04 campaign.

That group, which also included Lyon and Anderlecht, saw Celtic finish in third place and drop into the Europa League which is the likely outcome this season as well.

Despite having Larsson and Sutton in attack the Celtic side under Martin O’Neill never made it into the knock out phase of the Champions League although the 2003 UEFA Cup Final was more than adaquate compensation.
