Former Celtic striker Tomas Cvancara will "never forget" his time in Glasgow.

The Czech forward joined the Hoops on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach in January, scoring twice before injury ended his season early.

He was part of Celtic's Scottish Cup shootout win over Rangers at Ibrox. Now back in his homeland on loan with FC Hradec Kralove, the 26-year-old reflected on his time in Glasgow. Cvancara said: "It was beautiful. I have beautiful memories of it.

"Unfortunately, I got injured. But it was beautiful. I will never forget it."

After returning to Germany in the summer, he was deemed surplus to requirements by Monchengladbach and secured a temporary move to the Czech side.

The former Celtic forward has made an impressive start with Hradec Kralove, and registered an assist in last Sunday's 2-1 victory over Sparta Prague.

As for Martin O'Neill's side, their strike force has seen numerous changes this summer, with Camilo Duran, Kasper Hogh and Shim Mheuka all joining, while Kelechi Iheanacho and Johnny Kenny have departed.
