Gustaf Lagerbielke is a Swedish central defender from Stockholm, born on 10 April 2000 (age 26). At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is an imposing presence at the back, now with SC Braga, where he wears the number 4 shirt.
His senior career developed in Sweden, with Degerfors IF giving him a productive 2022 league season in which he scored three goals in 14 appearances. A move to IF Elfsborg followed, and that was the platform for Celtic to bring him to Glasgow in August 2023 for around £3m.
Lagerbielke’s Celtic spell was not a long one, but it did bring a Scottish Cup win. For a centre-half arriving from the Swedish game, Celtic was a sharp step up in scrutiny as much as standard, and his time in Scotland was ultimately fairly contained.
He left Celtic in July 2025, joining SC Braga for around £2m. In 2026-27, he has made four Liga Portugal appearances and three in the Conference League qualifiers, giving him seven appearances in all competitions for Braga. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
He has also remained in Sweden’s international picture, with six European World Cup qualifying appearances and one goal, along with four World Cup appearances. His career so far has taken him from Stockholm through the Swedish league, into Celtic, and on to Portugal with Braga.
