On Thursday evening, Carl Starfelt bid a heartfelt farewell to Celtic and its fanbase in a touching Instagram post. The Swedish defender expressed his gratitude to the club and its supporters for the past two years as he embarks on a new chapter in Spain.
During his tenure at Celtic, Starfelt faced his share of criticism from a segment of the fanbase who were quick to fault him for the occasional misplaced pass or mistimed tackle. However, a closer look at his record and the trophies secured during his two years in Glasgow reveals that he played a pivotal role in a successful team.
Starfelt’s formidable partnership with fellow centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers provided a solid foundation for the rest of the team to play attractive, attacking football. Under the leadership of Ange Postecoglou, the duo rarely tasted defeat and will be remembered as a remarkable defensive pairing.
It was heartwarming to see Carter-Vickers respond to Starfelt’s Instagram post on Thursday evening. The American international expressed his sentiment, telling Carl he would be missed.
