Celtic set to sign Borussia Monchengladbach striker Tomas Cvancara on loan for rest of season

Celtic are closing in on their second signing of the January transfer window.

STV Sport understands the Hoops are set to complete the capture of Borussia Monchengladbach striker Tomas Cvancara on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old Czech Republic international forward will bolster Martin O’Neill’s attack as they look to add more goals to their team for a potential three-way title run-in.

Celtic are in Italy to take on Bologna in the Europa League this week as they look to keep their European campaign alive.

Then their attention turns to Tynecastle where they will take on league leaders Hearts in a crunch Premiership clash in the capital.

If they get Cvancara over the line, then he joins Julian Ajauro as the champions’ two January recruits.
