Gustaf Lagerbielke hails 'special night' in post after win over Celtic

Gustaf Lagerbielke has hailed a "special night" after winning on his return to Celtic Park with Braga.

The centre-back returned to Glasgow for the first time since his transfer exit as Braga claimed victory in the Europa League contest.

Lagerbielke, 25, signed a five-year deal with the Portuguese side as he sealed a £2.2m transfer from Celtic in the summer.

Quickly, the 25-year-old has established himself as a key player for Braga, playing in all but two of their matches so far this season.

He started on Thursday evening as Braga claimed a 2-0 win at Celtic Park.

Posting on Instagram, Lagerbielke hailed the experience, writing: "Special night, special win 💜".

"I think if I summarise the two years, I would say that I learned a lot," said the Swede as he returned to Glasgow ahead of the match. "Both what it means to be part of a big club like Celtic and a lot of football stuff. 

"Then also in life, moving to another country and meeting new people and all of that. Then why it didn't work out, I would say it depends what you mean. During my season when I played we won two titles. I met some incredible people and I learned a lot. I would say it was successful."

"Feyenoord night was a good night," he continued. "Scoring and winning for the first time in a while.

"It was a very big moment, that's for sure. It's difficult to rank them but it was a very special night. Also winning the titles. Those were the biggest highlights."
