Mikael Lustig
Carl Mikael Lustig (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈmîːkaɛl ˈlɵ̂sːtɪɡ]; born 13 December 1986) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a defender. Mainly a right-back, he could also play as a centre-back.
Beginning his career with Umeå FC in 2004, he went on to play for numerous clubs, including GIF Sundsvall and Rosenborg BK in Sweden, Gent in Belgium, Celtic in Scotland and again in Sweden with AIK. He retired from football in October 2022, aged 35 years.
A full international for Sweden between 2008 and 2021, Lustig won 94 caps for his country and represented Sweden at three UEFA European Championships, including the 2012, 2016, and 2021 editions, as well as the 2018 FIFA World Cup hosted in Russia.
Lustig began his career with Sandåkerns SK. He then moved to Umeå FC, where he played for two years.
Lustig moved to Allsvenskan club GIF Sundsvall for the 2005 season, scoring twice in eight games. GIF Sundsvall were relegated the following season to the Superettan. They were in that division for the next two years, with Lustig playing in 57 of their 60 games. For the 2008 season the team was back in the Allsvenskan and Lustig continued to be a regular in the team, playing in all 11 league games before the Euro break. During the summer he moved to the Norwegian club Rosenborg BK.
After four seasons with Rosenborg, Lustig left the club in November 2011. He had attracted interest from other European clubs, such as Scottish Premier League team Celtic, English Premier League club Fulham and La Liga side Espanyol.
On 23 November 2011, Celtic announced that they had signed Lustig on a pre-contract deal. He officially joined the club on 1 January 2012. He made his debut for Celtic on 3 March, in a 1–1 draw with Aberdeen. He scored his first goal for the Hoops in a 2–2 home draw against Hibernian on 1 September 2012. He was also initially credited with Celtic's second goal that day, although it was later given as an own goal. On 17 July 2013, Lustig opened the scoring in Celtic's 3–0 away victory in the second round of qualifying against Cliftonville in the Champions League.
On 6 February 2017, Lustig performed a classic rabona in an unbroken 25-pass move involving all 11 Celtic players, which resulted moments later in a goal for team-mate Moussa Dembélé, sealing his hat-trick and a 5–2 win over home team St. Johnstone. The goal was shortlisted for FIFA's prestigious Puskas Award.
