Overview
- Celtic confirmed the signing of Borussia Mönchengladbach striker Tomas Cvancara on loan until season’s end, with an option to make the move permanent.
- Sky Sports reports the buy option is about £7m, and Sky Germany reports Celtic will cover the player’s wages for the remainder of the campaign.
- Interim manager Martin O’Neill cautioned Cvancara is not an instant fix for scoring issues but said he has trained and is ready to be involved.
- Cvancara is in line for a debut at Hearts on Sunday after Johnny Kenny was ruled out with a calf injury, with Celtic seeking extra forward options in a tight title race.
- The Czech international excelled at Sparta Prague before struggling for goals at Gladbach, with an Antalyaspor loan cut short over financial issues, and he says he is ready and can play centrally or in supporting roles.
