Graeme Souness has revealed how Henrik Larsson turned down a move to Blackburn - because of the weather.
Seven years in Glasgow with Celtic have apparently left the Swedish hitman craving a move to a hot climate.
Larsson, who lifted the Scottish Cup with Celtic on Saturday, has still to decide where he will play next season.
Souness told the Express: "It would have been a fantastic signing for us. But Henrik told me he wanted to go somewhere it was sunny."
