Henrik Larsson holds the acclaim of every single Celtic supporter across the globe.

The Swede could very well be the most-loved player to have ever pulled on the green & white hoops.

Just when it didn't see the King of Kings could be adored anymore by fans, especially in Glasgow, the 52-year-old aimed a thinly-veiled dig at Rangers.

While attending the club's Player of the Year awards at the Hydro last night, the Hoops idol referred to the Ibrox club as 'them', much to the delight of the 11,000 Celtic supporters in attendance.

Larsson told the crowd: "Stay yourself. You are amazing and brilliant. Keep on doing what you are doing. Support the team.

"They have a chance to win the league again and stop them (nodding) from winning it."

His cheeky dig at Celtic's arch-Glasgow rivals received thunderous applause from the fans at the event.

Brendan Rodgers and his players were also in attendance at the event, as Matt O'Riley enjoyed a clean sweep of the main awards.

Just Kilmarnock away and St Mirren at home remain for Celtic's fixtures in the league campaign. Only one more point is required from those matches to secure a third successive title.

However, if Dundee were to cause an upset at Ibrox on Tuesday night by snatching a win or draw, then the league would be over before a ball is kicked at Rugby Park the following evening.
