The Swede is the latest recruit to join Brendan Rodgers overhaul at Parkhead.
Gustaf Lagerbielke spent a summer holiday in Scotland as a kid as his family soaked up the scenery in the Highlands. But the Swedish ace admits he took the long road rather than the low one to get to Glasgow.
“We were in the Highlands looking at the really beautiful nature. We saw Loch Ness but didn’t see Nessy! It was in the summer so it was raining. Back then, I was just playing football for fun with my mates.” “I rose quickly. It was a big decision to move down the levels but I wanted to play senior football rather than in the youth teams. i wanted to see real football, while taking more control over my training.
“I got to develop my leadership skills by taking responsibility. I have taken that with me to Elfsborg and now here.” The next challenge is following in the footsteps of some famous Swedes in these parts. Henrik Larsson, Johan Mjallby, Mikael Lustig – maybe skip over Freddie Ljungberg – and latterly Carl Starfelt have all been Hoops heroes.
“Then when I got here, everything has exceeded my expectations so I’m really happy. I thought it was going to be a lot of fans and a good stadium and a good atmosphere but then when I Googled it and saw it on YouTube it was like world class.
