Andy Robertson has revealed his admiration for Henrik Larsson.

As a 9-year-old the future Scotland skipper watched in awe as the Swede inspired Celtic to the final of the UEFA Cup in Seville.

It was a golden era for the club with Robertson’s face lighting up as he discussed his early life growing up as a Celtic supporter in Glasgow.

Robertson went on to join Celtic but was released at the age of 16 and moved to Queens Park.

Jackie McNamara took the defender to Dundee United in 2013 but a year later he joined Hull City in a £2.8m deal that eventually led to Liverpool in the summer of 2017.

After struggling to break into Jurgen Klopp’s side he became a regular around the turn of the year and ended the season playing in the final of the Champions League against Real Madrid.
