Departing Gustaf Lagerbielke has been snapped in the colours of new club Braga before his official unveiling in Portugal.
The Swede proved an ill-fit in Glasgow as he spent last season on loan at Twente after only mustering seven league appearances following his move from Elsborg in 2023.
And now Lagerbielke’s move to Braga will receive an official green light in the coming hours.
Both manager Brendan Rodgers and captain Callum McGregor praised the Sweden international’s hard work during training but he could never earn extended minutes in green and white.
Now Lagerbielke follows fellow defender Maik Nawrocki out the door but has a famous Champions League winner against Feyenoord to show for his time with Celtic.
Meanwhile, Isak Jansson’s knack for thriving in one vs ones led him to Rapid Vienna and now appears to be the factor which has him being eyed by Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.
The Hoops appear keen on Nicolas Kuhn’s successor as the German winger himself stands on the brink of joining Como in a £17.2million deal.
The Vienna chief has revealed all on what led Jansson to Rapid and what has him firmly on the Celtic radar.
He said last month: “We needed a replacement for Nicolas Kuhn after he signed for Celtic.
“We asked our manager what type of player he was looking for in particular and he told us he wanted someone who could beat a man, one-on-one.
“We did a wide data search across our target markets and in terms of dribbling and taking on players, Jansson appeared in the top three.
“We looked at a lot of his videos and he was exactly what we wanted.

“Usually, we would watch a player live, but with the timescale and the closing of the transfer window, we had no time and had to trust the data.
“The risk was relatively low because we also know that in eight to nine out of ten cases, the impressions from video scouting are confirmed during live scouting.
“And with Jansson, it wasn’t a risk at all because we first agreed on a free loan first and then a small transfer fee of £200,000.
“One week after we exercised the purchase option in the season, we had an offer of more than £1 million on the table.
“He will clearly be transferred for many times what we paid for him. He has been an amazing success for us.”
