Henrik Larsson’s son has inherited his father’s ability to annoy Rangers’ fans.
Jordan Larsson was linked with what would have been one of the strangest moves of the transfer moves of the summer – the son of a Celtic legend joining their arch-rivals.
However, Jordan didn’t waste any time in shooting down the rumour, laughing off any suggestions that he was about to cross the Glasgow divide.

Celtic fans loved the tweet from the Helsingborgs’ forward, and so did his father’s former strike-partner.
No need for people to be offended or be offensive. It's all in good fun and just a bit of banter. People need to chill.

Chris Sutton played alongside Larsson for four years at Celtic Park, and in some extremely hostile, high-profile Old Firm games.
The former Blackburn Rovers striker recently joined Twitter – and has, so far, only tweeted 56 times – but Larsson’s tweet clearly made an impression on Sutton, who tweeted the youngster his seal of approval.
Sutton compared his ability to wind up Rangers’ fans to his father.
@JordanLarsson17 like father like son! Your dad always liked to stir it up more than the rest of us😉
