Ex Celtics Player and Couch passes away leaves legacy behind..

WIM JANSEN

Few are likely to remember Wim Jansen’s poor start to his managerial career at Celtic because of the success he went on to achieve. He was the man responsible for bringing Henrik Larsson to the club and won the club’s first League Cup in 15 years, but even more importantly, he led Celtic to one of the most important titles in their history stopping Rangers’ bid for 10-in-a-row.

Celtic’s League Cup success when they beat Dundee United 3-0 in the final, coupled with the 2-0 New Year derby victory, boosted the team’s confidence. The campaign ended in glory for the Hoops as they beat St Johnstone 2-0 on the final day of the season, but Jansen stunned the club when he quit in the immediate aftermath of that triumph.
