Henrik Larsson says he's only focused on his job with Helsingborgs after being linked as a potential successor to Ronny Deila as Celtic boss.

The Scottish champions announced Deila will leave his post at the end of the Scottish Premiership season, after two years in charge of the champions.

In 2014 while manager of Falkenbergs, Celtic legend Larsson revealed he had turned down the chance to replace Neil Lennon as boss following talks with the Parkhead hierarchy.

The former Sweden international is once again high on the list of replacements for the role and speaking to STV following Deila's announcement, Larsson said: "I'm the manager of Helsingborgs... that's what my focus is on."

When asked if he would be open to talks with chief executive Peter Lawwell and majority shareholder Dermot Desmond, he replied: "There's no point to me speculating on anything like that - I'm focusing on the Helsinborgs job. My contract here is until the winter of 2017."

Celtic hold an eight-point lead over Aberdeen in the Premiership title race with five matches remaining.

Deila is aiming to bow out with his second consecutive league title as Celtic aim to complete five-in-a-row.

Helsingborgs are currently 13th in the 16-team Allsvenskan, having won one of their opening four matches.
