Livingston’s Cameroonian defender Gustave Bahoken has apologised to Henrik Larsson for breaking the Celtic striker’s jaw.
Larsson faces six weeks on the sidelines recovering from the double fracture sustained in a clash with the Cameroon player in his side’s 2-1 win on Sunday.
Bahoken insisted the incident was purely an accident, the two players clashing heads in the penalty box.
« I’m feeling very hurt inside because I know how much Larsson means to so many people, » he said.
« Celtic love him, Scottish football loves him and, of course, his wife and family love him.
« Those are the people I am thinking about right now. I want to say sorry to them all for what has happened to Henrik.
« I never meant to cause him any harm. I only went for the ball and we collided with each other.
« I hope people realise this was an accident. »
