Ex-Celtic star Simon Donnelly reckons Sweden should have "ruled the world" with Henrik Larsson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front.

Zlatan bagged himself a hat-trick in LA Galaxy's derby clash with LA FC and insisted: "I AM LA!!!" after Friday night's match.

Donnelly, 44, didn't take much convincing and made his point on social media.

Quoting Zlatan's tweet, Donnelly wrote: "This guy up top with Henrik, Sweden should’ve ruled the world".

Larsson and Donnelly played together for two years before the latter moved on.

Henrik also starred alongside Ibrahimovic for a brief spell in Swedish yellow but didn't manage to set the world alight as an attacking partnership.

They have both represented their country at major tournaments and recently Zlatan boasted he and Larsson were "ready for the World Cup" in an entertaining selfie.
