    Was this ever on the news here? It's been up for 12 years and I had no idea about it until I randomly googled it tonight. Need to visit it at some point.

    As much as I really like Larson for whst he did with us, it's a ridiculous idea to put a statue outside of him. As much as he was magnificent for us, he doesn't warrent to have one outside our stadium. Billy McNeil, brother walfrid, Fergus mcCann yes but no Larson. He's not up there with them 3 mentioned!

    Best player of my generation, and the last genuine world class player we’ve had.

    If anycunt deserves a statue, it’s him.

    I'd argue if anyone deserves a statue it's him.

    My view is there should be a statue of Larsson but we should wait until after he’s dead so he doesn’t get any appreciation of it.

    Same with Fergus.

    This is the way.

    Think Fergus's statue should have a slot so you can put money into it, like a piggy back. Sure he'd regularly come and collect it.

    Literally the only business man to take cash out of football, in a positive way, I can think of.

    Agree that I don’t think there should be a Larsson statue, wonderful as he was. Should be reserved for the likes of the Lions imo.

    Its maybe just me but I don't really see the point of a statue of someone from the modern era, we have hours of colour footage and tons of high quality photos of him from his time at Celtic

    Theirs plenty of legends from the pre-war era that we have little footage of that a statue would be more suited for

    Anyone who deserves a statue is Fergus McCann who saved us from going into liquidation and I bet sevco wished they had someone doing that for them .
    Larsson will always be remembered even years into the future and always be the king of kings .

    You'd have one of Douglas Ross in George Square in recognition of his opposition to Scottish Independence.
