The list of lethal strikers over the decades knows no bounds, but who is the DAY TEN: THE G

Celtic (200 to 2006) Four (2001, 2002, 2004 and 2006).

THE Evil Genius. The former Celtic forward is notorious these days as an outspoken pundit with the BBC and BT Sport. But Chris Sutton was infamous with opposition teams in Scotland and across Europe long ago.

The wisdom of the Parkhead paying Chelsea a record £6m fee to secure his services after Martin O’Neill had been appointed manager in 2000 was questioned by some down south. He had not been a success at Stamford Bridge.

But Sutton was instrumental to all of the successes that O’Neill’s side enjoyed in the following five years. He formed a formidable strike partnership with

Henrik Larsson up front and terrorised defences at home and abroad.

The Englishman wasn’t as skilful or stylish as the Swede, but he was a perfect foil for his celebrated team mate. He was smart, physical, industrious and brilliant in the air. He weighed in with his fair share of goals too, not least against Rangers.

Chris Sutton (right) won the Premier League in four of the six seasons that he played in Scotland – he departed for Birmingham City halfway through the 2005/06 campaign – and only lost the other two on the final day.

Rangers (1970 to 1983 and 1985 to 1986)

Three (1975, 1976 and 1978).

CONSIDERING that he was often fielded by Rangers in defence and midfield instead of his favoured position in attack, it is remarkable that Derek Johnstone is, with 210 goals to his name, the fifth

our dream team. The Swede is unquestionably the best player to grace the Scottish top flight this century.

Larsson’s unhappy spell at Feyenoord in the Netherlands ended in the summer of

1997 when they accepted a £650,000 bid from Celtic. The deal worked out well for both club and player. In the next seven years he would win four Scottish titles, two League Cups and two Scottish Cups and help his side reach the UEFA Cup final.

He would score 242 goals in 315 games in the process. Only Jimmy McGrory (468) and Bobby Lennox (273) have been on target more for the Glasgow club in their 132 year history.

As a player, Larsson had everything. He was fast, clever, graceful, brave, strong, tenacious and technically excellent. He was outstanding in the air even though he only stood 5ft 9in tall and good with the ball at his feet. Most of all, he was a lethal finisher, capable of netting from both inside and outside the box.

Larsson, too, flourished on the big
