Larsson graduates from university
Henrik Larsson, the former Celtic forward, is to be awarded an honorary degree by the University of Strathclyde. The 33-year-old Sweden international, now with Barcelona, will be made a doctor of the university next month in recognition of his contribution to sport and his impact on Glasgow and Scotland.
Professor Andrew Hamnett, the university principal, said: "The university believes that Mr Larsson's impact on Glasgow and Scotland as a whole went far beyond the football field. His charity work and general demeanour mark him as an ideal role model for our students."
Larsson has accepted the degree and the university is confident he will collect the award in person at a ceremony on May 4.
