Jo Inge Berget’s Celtic spell never caught fire, yet he returned with Malmö in 2015 and scored twice at Celtic Park. Lagerbielke has publicly pushed back at the ‘flop’ tag in the build-up, clearly motivated to reframe his Celtic spell. You can be sure Braga’s dressing room will lean into that edge. Selling a serviceable defender is one thing; strengthening a potential Europa League opponent is another. And the subplot is unmistakable: the defender Celtic let go is set for centre stage in Glasgow.
