Gustaf Lagerbielke sparked speculation with an intriguing Instagram story post.
The Celtic star shared a photo of himself in training, accompanied by a cryptic caption featuring a ‘soon’ emoji followed by ‘stars’ emoji.
This has led to widespread conjecture: is Lagerbielke hinting at an upcoming start in the Champions League?
He started in the opening match against Feyenoord but was sent off, resulting in him missing the subsequent home game against Lazio. Since then, he’s been relegated to the bench for the majority of the campaign.
Further fueling the speculation is Lagerbielke’s absence from the league since October 7th. It’s now December 12th, and his last appearance on the field was during the 2-1 victory against Motherwell on September 30th. This prolonged absence from the starting lineup in league matches has raised questions about his future with the team.
The cryptic nature of Lagerbielke’s recent social media post has added a layer of intrigue to his situation. The ‘soon’ emoji, coupled with ‘stars’ might be a subtle indication of his return to the starting lineup in one of Europe’s most prestigious football competitions.
If he is to start, you’d imagine Nat Phillips would drop to the bench after his poor performance at the weekend.
