They don’t belong in the same conversation, there is only one King of Kings
It's not even a debate ffs. Henrik was so good he went on to play for Barcelona and United in his twilight years.
Yeah but what about Torre Andre Flo?🤣🤣
Watp,can't even argue with you
@@fireblade2681Don't remind me 12 f'ing mill ffs
And win the European cup
Guys you are ALL forgetting 5mil man SEBO SEEBBOOOO😂😂😂😂😂😂HH1888
It's comparing apples & ORANGES. McCoist was a lethal poacher. Larsson was an all round footballer.
There's no debate...Larsson was better than McCoist 100%...from a Rangers supporter.
A bizarre question. Larsson is head and shoulders above in ability and even more so in class
Next up .... Who is faster over 100m.... Usain Bolt or Susan Boyle
Yes but Susan Boyle was faster than McCoist
Lol 😂
That a race I would love to see!!!
Lpl
Larsson did it on the biggest stage in Europe, he also won a CL with Barcelona and was an important part in doing so. He was also playing in a SPL that was far more competitive than that of Oldco's 9IAR era.
How is this even a debate? lol
Not that farfetched of a debate if you’re talking pure output from a striker, and especially not using your metrics. McCoist has 2 European Golden boots and was 1 goal away from achieving a place in the final of the inaugural Champions League competition - with Rangers. Not Barcelona who are expected to win these kinds of tournaments. Losing to a team that went on to win it and were subsequently stripped (kept European Cup for some peculiar reason) of that seasons winnings for match fixing. However, I do think Larsson was a more gifted footballer than McCoist, but Laudrup the best talent Scotlands ever seen. In my opinion.
@@skooby95 behave yourself man 😂 Larsson is without a shadow of a doubt the best foreigner Scotland has seen. He took Celtic to Seville on his own more or less with his goals. Countless world cups and European championships scored goals. He came off the bench to win Barcelona the CL final. The guy was special and then some
@@skooby95 So he nearly (but ultimately didn't) got to a CL final in one year. How did he fair in subsequent editions against Levski Sofia, Aek Athens and the like?
The only metric that Swally beats the King of Kings in is the 'Being the funny fat guy on talksport' metric.
@skooby95 massive massive disservice to the players of old . Unbiased head on here but henrik is best I've ever seen . As a celtic fan I'd still never put him above Johnstone, murdoch or mcneill . I'm sure your team will have sone . Baxter springs to mind
@@arronblack67 I’m not trying to say Larsson wasn’t incredible. Definitely up there with the very best. I have a bit of bias towards Laudrup as a Rangers supporter. He never had a bad game. Had a supernatural gift with a football at his feet. Won Euros with Denmark and the Confederations Cup. Champions League. Serie A. UEFA Supercup. He was also already on that world class level when Rangers bought him. Larsson was a kid when he joined Celtic and proved his worth elsewhere later on albeit nowhere near as much as he could’ve if had left earlier. Key words being “could have”. The world never got to see a prime Larsson in the big leagues. So Laudrup edges it for me. But I also acknowledge they play different positions and the hardest thing is putting the ball in the net which Larsson was a freak at doing. I think Laudrup was more talented and accomplished than Larsson that doesn’t equate to me thinking he’s bad. In an all time SPL 11 Larsson plays striker Laudrup right wing no doubt about it.
Larsson - better than McCoist when both in their prime.
Larsson - better than McCoist when Ally was in his prime and Larsson was not in his prime.
Larsson - better than McCourt when McCoist had a broken leg.
Larsson - better than McCoist when Larsson had a broken leg.
Ally was a good goal-getter, but it's no contest who was the better player. The king of kings was simply brilliant.
not even in the same league mate
watched 5 seconds of this. no point watching more. nuff said HH
haha hh
Lol yeah it's pure click bait . Doesn't even give his own opinion. Make a video like this least have cajones to give a verdict. HH
I skipped to the end, could smell a cop out
Henrik larsson went to probably the best team in the world at the time Barcelona at 33 and didn't look out of place. This shouldn't be a debate
Bench warmer.
Stupid comparison. Henrik was a world class player and McCoist was a penalty box poacher.
World Class is being very generous.
@@LHBH8 I don't think so....242 goals in 315 games, 35 goals in 58 European games. He beat Hernan Grespo to the 2001 Golden boot after a 53 goal season. 106 caps for Sweden. Larson was nominated for the Ballon d'or and Euefa team of the year 2001. He also won the Champions League final with Barcelona. He made the two goals after coming on as a sub when his team were 1-0 down.
I could go on, but I think you should get it.
If that isn't World class then what Is?
@@LHBH8He was world class. Scored goals at euros and World Cups and in Europe for Celtic
@@LHBH8 World class is stating a fact!!!!!!
Larsson by a mile
Whats better Lurpak or Stork?!
Mccoist was good but larsson was on a completely different level
Both were master goalscorers, the big thing that separates them is Larsson's ability as an overall player. Even if (and it's a big if) McCoist had the edge as a pure goalscorer, Larsson was so far ahead in other aspects of the game puts him over McCoist 100%.
Henrik did it against decent Rangers teams,McCoist did it against poor Celtic teams.
Fucking behave
As a rangers fan i wouldnt even think for 2 seconds of putting mcoist above larsson.
If we solely look at their time in Scottish football there isn't much between them - Id say Ally, but if you look at their careers as a whole then Larsson.
Both were great players, McCoist was a penalty box man, lethal in it, but Henrik was a more complete player, could score from anywhere, play multiple positions, man was incredible but he had great teammates too helping, Larsson was better all around, no disrespect to McCoist though
With respect to what a great striker Ally McCoist was. One of the best Rangers and Scotland ever produced but Henrik Larsson was better. As much as Henrik is hailed a God at Celtic park, it's actually a crying shame overall he spent so long at Celtic because there's been players like Ibrahimovic that have said he was a dream to play alongside... Chris Sutton had paired with Alan Shearer before so could give you an informed account of what a great strike partner is like and says much the same in his praises. Played in same team as Thierry Henry etc also. Henrik is actually under rated imo because of the length of time he was in Scotland. A special talent. Deserves more credit and no shame to Ally McCoist being 2nd in this comparison.
I'm a Rangers fan, but Larsson is a different class and undoubtedly the greatest player to ever grace Scottish football
Your ability to sit on the fence at the end there was as good as Larsson & McCoist’s ability to find the net 😂
surely not much of a debate here, Henrik by a long shot
Is this a joke 😂 Larsson was something special, Ally was a good goal scorer but that's were the comparison ends. Henrik played at the highest level.
Did McCoist win 2 La Liga titles, 1 English Premier League title and 1 UEFA Champions League title? Because Larsson did
Henrick was better. And that's from a Rangers fan. Larsson vs Laudrup would be better, sure most Celtic fans would agree. I pick Larsson there also, but Laudrup was brilliant to watch.
Hearts fan born 92
Larsson is the best player I’ve ever seen in SPL by far
Larsson… silly Q tbh!
On decorum alone Larsson wins hands down, a humble winner without spouting hatred like mcmoist!
On talent… mcmoist is so far behind he doesn’t even eat Larssons dust!
Half a yard mcoist is only a hero in the eyes of a zero!
Ffs,no contest,
Larsson could've played for anyone in Europe whereas McCoist 😂😂😂
Don't remember sally winning the champions league?
Don't remember Henrik winning two golden boots.

Seriously?! 😂😂😂 what sort of question is that. Ally broke my heart many times but he had absolutley nothing on larsson ffs 😂
Even McCoy's would be embarrassed by this
Henrik was world class, totally unselfish player, always about the team, his goal tally would have been even greater if he had the selfishness of a lot of strikers.
Ally could not lace Larsson's boots
Super Ally
😂😂😂😂😂
Thats bait😂
Lol i cant believe this is being debated😂😂😂😂 hail hail
There’s no comparison,one played for Man Utd and Barcelona and the other st Johnstone
stupid question 😂 Larsson its no comparison
Absolutely No Comparison. Henrik All Day Long

Larsson was miles ahead of McCoist in footballing ability.
Try comparing McCoist to Dixie Deans

For me McCoist was the better player because he played on pitches that were like Hills, Larsson played on the proper pitches you see nowadays, he also get the opportunity to play for Barca and united as any player would these days (I could have a half decent season in the SPL and end up signing for Liverpool because that’s what football has become). McCoist also won 2 European golden boots so all this nonsense that Larsson played on the big stage and McCoist didn’t is a load of rubbish. Larsson was crap for Man Utd and ban avaerage for Barça, people think he’s the goat of Scottish football because he’s won a UCL?😂 away and study the greats of the past, McCoist Wins For Me.
If you need to tell lies about Larsson at both Man u and Barca, everything else you say is pointless. Man u players raved about Larsson and he basically won Barca their first European cup since the early 90s! Really stupid comment to say McCoist is a better player than a great like Henrik.
@@talkinghead3169it’s really not. He played 7 games at United 👏👏👏, I’m not saying he’s not a great player because he is👍🏻 and I do respect him for winning The UCL for Barça but that’s all he’s remembered for at Barça, McCoist played on pitches like hills whilst Larsson played on the Pitches you get these days. McCoist is the winner 🏆🔵🇬🇧, quite stupid to start an argument about who’s better when you know deep down McCoist is better + he done it longer. You know I’m right🫵😎
McCoist couldn't lace Larsson's boots.
Larsson without a shadow of doubt ......he oozed class , McCoist could finish yeah but he was lazy and a box player, the vision and running off the ball and sheer workmate from the Magnificent7 makes him probably the most talented, prolific goal scorer ever seen in Scotland and in today's market probably not a kick in the arse off 70 million maybe more HHH
Henrik by a LONG shot no even in the same category the two of them
The pie man couldn’t lace the king of kings boots….
Michael Mols before McCoist to be honest.
Not even a debate ffs
McCoist not good enough to lace Larsson's boots. Stupid question.
No debate live how the jst brushed over how many sitter mccoist used to miss, and heard hes deesers hero!! I
Wtf how can they even be compared 🫣
Agree with the majority of the above, isn't up for debate, super Ally head and shoulders above the swede.
no UCL?
@@ThomasDonnelly1888 No 2 European golden boots?
😂😂😂🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️🚀🚀🚀
It was brilliant to see Larsson being thrown up and down after winning Barcelona in the European cup final turning the game and oh and then finished of at Man united as Fergie thought the sun shined oot his erse too and Henrik way into his 30’s but anyway where were we at ah Sally McCoist…..🤔😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@thesgg8848McCoist doesn’t even have one. No golden boots were issued between 91 & 96 and if they had it wouldn’t have been him getting them. Another myth cultivated in David Murray’s spell. And yeah, he was given two golden boots by adidas for being top scorer in Scotland, not Europe.
Mccoist won 2 golden boots
Mcoist won 2 golden boots
I aint even going to watch because this is not up for debate 😂
McCoist was 100% better than Larsson...on Question of Sport.
Not even close
Henrik larsson world class,ally mccoist good striker in Scotland.
HAHAHAHAHA ! That wee divin bassa Larsson wasn't EVEN AS GOOD AS Boydy, now away and GROW-UP Kid.... but Even Super Ally comes after DJ, THE BEST EVER !!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now go home and get your shinebox henrik 😂
Hahahaha ..there is no debate ..nothing to do with celtic rangers ....larsson easily theres no comparison ...you might as well say whos better ..ronaldo or a scunthorpe player ..or messi and an accrington stanley player ...why has some idiot even brought up a debate 😂😂😂😂
Nonsense comparison
Seriously ?
Pathetic Question to be honest, Henrik was levels and levels above sally , it would be better to compare Sally with Leigh Griffiths or Gary Hooper if we’re being honest 🍀
Larsson obviously the better player, legend at Celtic and Barca and amazed me when he briefly played for United, McCoist was a great player also he scored for fun in Scotland
No contest: Larsson.
This is crazy..read bout 50
Comments and not one for ally including from huns
Sorry ally but is there a comparison?
Like really?
Geez peace..
Larsson. End of.
Larsson
Henrick played for 3 top european clubs "sally played for shite.
Hahahahaha..is this even a serious q….henke pisses on him
