Gustaf Lagerbielke, born in Stockholm on 10 April 2000 (age 26), is a Swedish central defender with SC Braga. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he came through in Sweden and had his most productive league season at Degerfors IF in 2022, scoring three times in 14 appearances.
His move to IF Elfsborg pushed him on, and Celtic paid around £3m to bring him to Glasgow in August 2023. His time at Celtic was not long, but it did include a Scottish Cup win, which is not a bad thing to have on the CV even if the spell itself felt slightly unfinished.
Lagerbielke left Celtic in July 2025, joining SC Braga for around £2m. He now wears number 4 for the Portuguese side, with his market value listed at around £4.5m by Transfermarkt.
In 2026-27, he has made five Liga Portugal appearances for Braga, along with three in Conference League qualifying and one in the Conference League. He has also been involved with Sweden, making appearances in World Cup and European qualifying fixtures and scoring once in the latter.
His career so far has taken him from Sweden to Celtic and then Braga: a tall centre-half with international involvement, a Scottish Cup medal, and a club path that has already moved across three leagues.
