Larsson's iconic derby dink remembered

Published May 7, 2026 · Updated May 7, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Chris Sutton has relived Henrik Larsson's legendary chip over Rangers goalkeeper Stefan Klos in Celtic's 6-2 Old Firm victory in August 2000, calling it 'absolute genius' and the best goal he witnessed during his time at Celtic.

Speaking to BBC Scotland for the Icons of Football series, Sutton described how he provided the assist with a flick from halfway line, allowing Larsson to nutmeg Bert Konterman and face Klos one-on-one. "Most normal strikers wouldn't be thinking of scooping it over Klos," Sutton explained, highlighting Larsson's exceptional confidence and skill.

The goal, scored in Martin O'Neill's first Old Firm game in charge, set the tone for Celtic's dominance. Sutton considers it the turning point that shifted momentum in Scottish football, with many fans still viewing that 6-2 victory as the moment Celtic established their superiority over Rangers. ipltable.lol
