Celtic loanee Gustaf Lagerbielke was on the scoresheet again yesterday as he completed another 90 minutes for Dutch Eredivisie side FC Twente.
The 6ft4 Swede headed in an empathic second goal for Twente as they raced to an early two-goal lead at SC Heerenveen.
Lagerbielke, who has been a mainstay in the Twente lineup since making the loan switch at the end of August, towered above opposing defenders at a corner for his second goal in the Netherlands.

Twente were soon reduced to 10-men after Bas Kuipers saw a straight red, and a last-gasp equaliser earned the hosts a point after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Having joined Celtic on a five-year deal from IF Elfsborg in August 2023 the £3million signing struggled for game time in his first season, featuring just ten times in all competitions.
However, the 24-year-old has been thriving in the Netherlands and is set to face Bodoe/Glimt in the Europa League play-off round this Thursday.
The 2009/10 Eredivisie champions did not include an option to buy in the loan deal.

“It is a straight loan until the summer," said Lagerbielke of his move to the Netherlands. "Then there is always the possibility that I will be bought. So far it’s felt very good there so we’ll see how it goes forward.
“There is always that (chance of going back to Celtic). I still have a contract there. It’s not out of the question at all.
Then I’ll have to see closer to the end of the season what happens with everything. But it’s a fantastic club."
