The former first minister shared a picture of himself posing with Henrik Larsson, whose career with the Hoops spanned seven years before he bid goodbye in the summer of 2004. Left in awe, Yousaf described Larsson as "generous, thoughtful and full of humility.""I had the enormous pleasure of meeting my childhood hero Henrik Larsson last night. What a lovely gent, generous, thoughtful, and full of humility.
He was known as the Super Swede, the Magnificent Seven and the King of Kings. He was Henrik Larsson of Celtic and supporters loved him.He previously said: "I’ll be eternally grateful to Celtic because they took a chance on me when other clubs didn’t. It was here where I became recognised as a player.
"It was here that I went on to play in European Championships and World Cups with Sweden. This is a club that believed in me and I’ll always remember that." In 315 appearances, he scored 242 goals making him the club's third top goalscorer of all time, only behind Bobby Lennox and Jimmy McGrory.
