Gustaf Lagerbielke was born in Stockholm on 10 April 2000 (age 25) and developed into an imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m) central defender. His senior career in Sweden included a productive 2022 league season at Degerfors IF, where he scored three goals in 14 appearances, before his form at IF Elfsborg took him to Celtic.
Celtic signed Lagerbielke from Elfsborg in August 2023 for around £3m. His time in Glasgow was not long, but it was not empty either: he won the Scottish Cup with Celtic, giving him a tangible place in a successful period even if he was not one of its central figures.
He left Celtic in July 2025 for SC Braga in a deal worth around £2m. At Braga, where he wears number four, he has remained in the first-team picture into 2026–27, making 16 appearances across all competitions, including 14 in the Europa League and one in Conference League qualifying.
His Sweden involvement has continued as well, with four World Cup appearances and six European World Cup qualifying appearances, including one goal. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Lagerbielke’s career has moved from Sweden to Celtic and on to Braga, with a Scottish Cup medal from his spell in Glasgow and a continuing role at club and international level.
