Celtic fans were delighted to hear a legendary player mentioned in a recent episode of Coronation Street.
On Wednesday night's episode of the long-running soap, fan favourite Steve McDonald was heard naming his favourite all-time footballer as Henrik Larsson.
The Swede became cemented in the Hoops' Hall of Fame during his stint at the club from 1999 to 2004, becoming one of their all-time highest goalscorers and earning the moniker King of Kings.
And supporters watching the soap were impressed by Steve's choice.
In the scene, Steve's wife Tracy Barlow says: "Steve if you're here you're going to follow him around saying 'who's your favourite player and how many hat tricks has he scored?'"
Steve replies: "Actually no I wouldn't because I know the answer - Henrik Larsson and seven."

Another said: "Maybe I’ll watch more Coronation Street then."
A third chimed: "Must be a Celtic fan writing that script. Hail hail."
