    EX-CELTIC star Henrik Larsson is to be awarded an honorary degree by the University of Strathclyde.

    The 33-year-old Swedish 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, university principal, said: "We are delighted that Henrik Larsson has accepted the honorary degree.

    "Mr Larsson's tremendous contribution to sport is well-known. However, the university believes that his 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 still to confirm he will attend the ceremony on May 4.

    A university spokeswoman said: "Mr Larsson has accepted the degree.

    "We're awaiting final confirmation of whether he will collect the award in person but we're confident he will."

    My folks are in Barcelona right now - they've picked me up a Barcelona shirt with Ghod's name on the back. Is that wrong?

    Of course not, I know we have to let go a bit, but the guy was a great so there is nothing wrong with getting his name on your barca top. We still talk of Jinky and Co.

    I really despise Universities that 'honour' people with honourary degrees. Whether it be Henrik or Billy Connolly, these 'degrees' are bullshit. If the guys want to 'earn' a real degree like myself whilst doing full time work and raising a family then good luck to them. But other than that the scrolls are as bogus as the dead sea ones.

    Aye as a matter of fact I am. I worked my * bollox of for mine whilst running a business and raising a family. Yes that means doing the stuff when you should be doing recreational activities or just relaxing.

    The * academia will do anything to get their selfs in the paper.

    Henrik Larrson could be as dumb as a retarded sheep, but because he scored goals.....hey lets give this guy a degree.

    A * JOKE

    WHY CANT I SAY WELL DONE?

    WELL DONE FOR * WHAT?
