Apparently Celtic are looking into the possibility of signing Jordan Larsson the son of Henrik. Apparently he is having rave reviews in Sweden and big Johan has had him watched a few times. Surely the Celtic connection would be a big pull for young Jordan and I'd like to think Henrik would tell him to grab the opportunity with both hands. However my only concern about the whole thing is will he be able to live up to the expectations of some Celtic fans can he achieve the great things his father once did at Celtic park. Will the pressure of being the king of kings son be too much to handle for the young lad? I for one would love to see young Jordan come on board with the hoops I remember going to games and seeing him out on the pitch. Would love to see the lad pull on the Celtic jersey for real and hopefully see Larsson 7 on the back of the famous hoops jersey once again.

I would love this young bhoy to grow and flourish at the Hoops my friend. The harsh reality is that the chances are very slim. As you mentioned, expectations. Paul Dalglish springs to mind. Young guys have sooooooooooo many distractions these days that it's no wonder the standard of footie has gone down. I wish the young Jordan all the best. prove me wrong wee man!

You have to be good enough to get the chance to pull on the hoops. It's not about who your father is/ was.
If there's other Swedish lads better than him then we should be looking at them first. He doesn't have to be good he has to be the best. Don't let hearts rule heads. (Like the nice fluffy perfect world living wage pullarva. It's a no brainer £500k is too much).

^^^ this guys an person. No real grasp of the consensus among majority of fans about the living wage- can only assume he earns above it therefore cares not.

If we sign a player at 500k it's no risk- has no major impact so why if for wages would it be any different?

It's time for those Tory minded amongst us to be reminded what the majority want. 500k too much? My backside, oh and there's a possibility the 500k estimate is rather too large.

If people are helping in the functioning of the club we all adore as their main employment bearing our beginnings in mind- how can we feel it ok to deny them a wage affording them a comfortable lifestyle? Not luxurious or extravagant- just comfortable!

If say £5 a season book was added plus say £1 per match day ticket to help fund the living wage, for all the hard working bhoys and ghirls behind the scenes, would show the charitable nature of our fans . allthough the club must see sense on this issue as we as a club give plenty to worthy causes, maybe it's time to do so under our own roof

The £500.000 estimate at the end of the tax year would cost very little as its an expenditure, which would be offset against corporation tax due on profits me thinks.

The boy made his first team debut in Sweden several years ahead of his dad so I don't think its all to do with the name. There is a definite confidence in his ability coming from Sweden, however, I feel the young swede atajic deserves his chance first. Swedish football supporters speak unbelievably highly about him and I hope we get a chance to see his ability.

Many have mentioned that them on the other side of the city haven't took the opportunity to play the youngsters but I also feel that could be said about our club

I think it would be worth a punt.
We might even get Henrik over as a Striking coach.
The only successful father and son players that come to my mind are The Lampards, The Redknaps, The Kruyffs, The Maldinis and Archie and Scott Gemmill.

Mazinho is father of Thiago Alcantara, Abedi Pele is father of the Ayew brothers at Marseille, just to add a couple.

Just sign him. If he grabs one goal in a good ***skelping result in the future I'd give him the key to the city.
