Double denial confuses Celts

by Ben Blackmore , 06 June 2009

Media reports that Tony Mowbray and Henrik Larsson are heading to Celtic are both wide of the mark on Saturday morning.

The Scottish tabloids are claiming Mowbray has beaten off competition from Mark McGhee to take the vacant managerial post left by Gordon Strachan at Celtic Park.

Meanwhile, it was also speculated that legendary Swedish goalscorer Larsson would return to take his coaching badges at the club – after recently revealing he is nearing a return to Scotland.

However, West Brom have denied the Mowbray stories on Saturday morning, while Larsson’s agent has been equally as negative about his client’s return.

"These rumours are not true at all," agent Rob Jansen told the Scottish Daily Mail.

"Henrik is still playing for Helsinborg in Sweden and it's impossible for him to break his contract or be part of anything happening at Celtic right now."

Switching focus to Mowbray, a West Brom spokesman insisted: "I can confirm that we have received no approach from Celtic regarding Tony Mowbray.”
