The striker has bowed to pressure from Sweden coaches Lars Lagerback and Tommy Soderberg and fans to play after quitting the international scene apart from a one-off return after the 2002 World Cup.

Larsson, who has 24 goals in 72 internationals, helped an injury-hit Sweden win a Euro 2004 qualifier against Hungary in April.

He will now spearhead Sweden's attack in Portugal where they face Italy, Denmark and Bulgaria in Group C.

But the 32-year-old, who cost Celtic 650,000 dollars from Feyenoord in 1997, told the club's supporters: "There is no chance of me changing my mind about Celtic.

"I turned back on my decision of two years ago not to play for Sweden but I am sure I will be leaving Celtic after this season.

"I came to the decision that it was time to move on and I still feel that is the right choice and I am happy with that."

He has played in two World Cups and two European Championships.
