Gustaf Lagerbielke was born in Stockholm on 10 April 2000 (age 26) and came through in Sweden before his move into the wider European game. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m) central defender, he had a useful 2022 league season at Degerfors IF, scoring three times in 14 appearances, before his form at IF Elfsborg helped take 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 was part of the Celtic squad that won the Premiership and Scottish Cup in 2023/24. That gives the spell a cleaner shape than some brief Celtic stays, even if he never became a central figure.
He left Celtic in July 2025, joining SC Braga for around £2m. At Braga he has remained part of the first-team picture, wearing No 4 and featuring regularly in 2026/27, with 13 appearances across all competitions, including Liga Portugal, Conference League qualifying and the Conference League proper. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Lagerbielke has also continued to be involved with Sweden, making four World Cup appearances and six in European World Cup qualifying this season, with one goal in the qualifiers. His career so far has moved from Sweden to Celtic and then Braga, with a domestic double in Scotland and a continuing role at club and international level.
