Gustaf Lagerbielke, born in Stockholm on 10 April 2000 (age 26), is a Swedish central defender with SC Braga. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m), he developed in Sweden and had his most productive league season with Degerfors IF in 2022, scoring three goals in 14 appearances before his move on to IF Elfsborg.
Celtic signed him from Elfsborg in August 2023 for around £3m. His time in Glasgow was not a long one, but he did leave with a Scottish Cup winner’s medal, which is never a bad line on the CV even if the spell itself felt slightly stop-start.
He left Celtic in July 2025, joining SC Braga for around £2m. By 2026-27 he remained a regular first-team presence there, wearing squad number 4 and making 12 appearances across all competitions, including seven in Liga Portugal, three in Conference League qualifying and two in the Conference League.
Lagerbielke has also stayed involved with Sweden, making four World Cup appearances and six in European World Cup qualifying, with one goal. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career so far has taken him from Sweden to Celtic and then to Portugal, with enough current football at Braga and Sweden to keep him relevant beyond a brief Glasgow chapter.
