A signing is never a signing until you see the player kick a ball for Celtic, but a second January addition is apparently going through a medical today. Borussia Monchengladbach’s Czech striker Tomas Cvancara (25) would add significantly to our attacking powers. So much so, that if he passes his medical (you know our injury luck this season), he is likely to feature at Tynecastle on Sunday.
The player shone in 18 months at Sparta Prague before earning a €10.5m move to Germany. Two years on the fringes in Germany proceeded a six-month loan in Turkey, which ended earlier this month. He last played on 4 December, so although he will hopefully be injury-free, it is unlikely he will be ready for a full 90 minutes.
A promising start as striker at Borussia ended when an ankle injury in January 2024 led to two-months on the sidelines. After that, he was used mostly as a sub, not starting another Bundesliga game until October. Appearances after the injury were mostly on the right wing.
If Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney can reconnect the player with his earlier form, he will thrive in the Scottish Premiership. The recent stats are not flattering, but as you and I know, it is not the stats that is important, it is their reading. Think Jota, who has hardly kicked a ball since Cvancara left Czechia.
At 6’ 3” he would also add a physical dimension missing from our play. We know a few wingers who would welcome that kind of target to aim for. As we discussed, believe nothing until you see him on the ball.

McCoist is excelling himself at the Liverpool game…”That was nearly top class”….a Salah effort over the bar….
ANY goal or pass is “World class” or “Top class” if executed by any player playing for an English team according to McCoist….now misses and failed passes are “Nearly top class/world class”…..
Lesson one in how to ingratiate yourself with English fans….
BSR
Condolences…..
I have a very similar story….

Martin does seem to have lost a bit of that joviality he showed in earlier interviews . Frustration showing perhaps .
Assuming we do sign the striker does anyone think one of these imposters will appear to take credit at the unvieling? If so who?
As it stands 5 EPL teams are in the top ten of champions league, City out of the top 8 on goal difference. 6 out of the top 13 if you include Chelsea.
We can’t be the only ones still waiting on the bubble bursting. Many more years like this and you can see there being another European super league push.
BSR
Very sorry for your loss.

Thoughts and prayers brother 🙏
I am upset at Martin being unhappy with what has happened to our club he isn’t daft.
We all know who took us here and why were in this poor situation.
Nice memories to have of your BB.
May he rest in peace.

Feel free to point out where he was “raging” and I’ll watch again👍
Remember McCoist giving Carlo Ancelotti pointers a couple of years ago.
Champions League Final, going into about the last 15 minutes and Real Madrid are level with Dortmund.
McCoist is emphatic that Ancelotti NEEDS to put on a striker.
The man that engineered a 3-2 defeat from Alloa, despite leading 2-0 is getting paid to enlighten the viewers(and Ancelotti) about the tactical tweeks needing to be made.
Needless to say Ancelotti thought differently and within about 1 minute of McCoist blethering a lot of……erm…..rubbish, Madrid had scored and went on to see out the game.
Ancelotti and the viewers still have much to learn, so its important that Ally is there to keep everyone right.
