IT would be a stretch for anyone to describe the recent experience of Scottish clubs in the Champions League as ‘fun’, but then, as a newcomer to these shores, Gustaf Lagerbielke likely hasn’t been bruised by that chequered history. Either that, or the Celtic centre-back has something of a masochistic streak.
The Swedish defender has had something of a baptism of fire at the club since his arrival a mere fortnight ago, but his enthusiasm remains undimmed. And he says that the Celtic players have to believe that they are not going into their section to make up the numbers, but to make the last 16.“To play against those teams is going to be a challenge of course, as it always is in the Champions League, but it’s going to be a fun challenge.
Like any typical young man in his homeland, most of Lagerbielke’s knowledge of Celtic growing up was in the form of anecdotes passed down about the prowess of a certain Henrik Larsson, but tucked away in the recesses of his mind are also memories of famous Celtic Park Champions League nights watched from afar, and particularly the one featuring a certain Tony Watt.
“It’s those kind of nights and the atmosphere here [that Celtic is renowned for], so it’s going to be great fun.
