New Striker Joins Celtic
Celtic FC has made a significant move in the January transfer window, securing striker Tomas Cvancara from Borussia Monchengladbach on loan until the end of the season. This signing marks the club’s second January acquisition following the loan deal for defender Julian Araujo from Bournemouth.
Striker to Make Impact
The 25-year-old Czech Republic international joins Celtic with a proven track record, having scored eight goals in two seasons at Borussia Monchengladbach. However, his most recent move to Turkey’s Antalyaspor was cut short due to financial issues and he managed only one goal in 13 appearances.
Manager’s Views on New Arrival
Celtic manager Martin O’Neill expressed optimism about Cvancara’s potential contribution. “He’s not a target man, believe it or not,” the boss stated. “He’s quick, he’s agile, and he wants to prove himself. We have lots of challenges ahead of us, and I’m confident he will fit in well with our team.”
Upcoming Match vs Hearts
Celtic fans can catch Tomas Cvancara’s debut live on Sky Sports as the club faces off against Hearts at Tynecastle Stadium. The match is scheduled for Sunday, 25th January 2026, with kick-off at 3:00pm.
Financial Implications of Deal
Sky Sports reports that a fee to sign Cvancara on a deal beyond this season would cost around £7 million. “It’s a massive honour to sign for this club,” the player himself said, expressing his excitement and resolve to make an impact.
Celtic continue their quest for success in what could be a pivotal transfer window. The arrival of Cvancara adds depth to the squad as Celtic prepare for upcoming matches and challenges ahead. Fans will now eagerly await his performances on the field, with high hopes that he can help propel the team towards its goals.
