Gustaf Lagerbielke has bid an emotional farewell to FC Twente after his loan at the Dutch club came to an end.
The central defender departed Celtic for the Netherlands at the beginning of last season.
Although he initially struggled for minutes at Twente, Lagerbielke soon emerged as a regular in the team and made 32 appearances across all competitions, scoring once.

As his loan came to an end, the Swede took to Instagram to bid farewell: "From the first day arriving in Enschede, I felt at home," he said.
"Every day I drove to the training ground in Hengelo, I felt excitement.
"Every day I was around the team and the staff, I felt joy.
"Every day I put on the Twente shirt, I felt proud.
"Every day I played in front of you supporters, I felt honoured.
"And today I feel grateful. Grateful for all of you and for letting me be a part of your family."
The 25-year-old joined Celtic in the summer of 2023 from Elfsborg in his homeland.
Lagerbielke only made 10 appearances in his first year at Parkhead, though, before departing for Twente.
It remains to be seen where his future lies this summer, with the likes of Liam Scales, Auston Trusty, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Maik Nawrocki all available to Brendan Rodgers at the centre of defence.
That's not to mention Stephen Welsh, who is due back from a loan spell at KV Mechelen.
