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 wears number 4 and has built his career as a straightforward, physically useful centre-half rather than a decorative one.
His senior progress in Sweden included a notable 2022 league season at Degerfors IF, where he scored three times in 14 appearances. That helped carry him on to IF Elfsborg, and Celtic moved for him in August 2023, paying around £3m.
His time at Celtic was relatively short, though not empty. Lagerbielke was part of the squad that won the Scottish Cup, a line on the CV that matters more than most passing references to squad depth. In July 2025 he left Celtic for SC Braga for around £2m.
At Braga, he remains part of the first-team picture in 2026–27, with six Liga Portugal appearances, three in Conference League qualifying and two in the Conference League. He has also continued to be involved with Sweden, featuring in World Cup and European qualifying matches, including one goal in qualification. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Lagerbielke’s career has moved from Sweden to Celtic and on to Portugal, with a Scottish Cup medal and ongoing international involvement along the way. He is still a regular presence at club level rather than a name from the fringes.
