'Disruptive' claims over Celtic signing verdict as ace told what matters amid trouble maker accusations

Celtic take on Hearts away in the Scottish Premiership this weekend.

They are six points behind their upcoming opponents in the table after 22 fixtures. The Hoops drew 2-2 against Bologna last time out in the Europa League after goals by Reo Hatate and Auston Trusty.

Martin O’Neill is back in interim charge following their decision to sack Wilfried Nancy. The hierarchy are working hard behind the scenes to find a new permanent manager for the summer. In the meantime, O’Neill is aiming to win the title.

Celtic new boy Tomas Cvancara in ‘disruptive’ claim

As per BBC Sport, there are claims that new Celtic striker Tomas Cvancara had a ‘disruptive’ influence in the dressing room at Borussia Monchengladbach. He has been given the green light to switch to Celtic Park on loan with an option to buy. He spent the first-half of this season at Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig but struggled to make an impact there.

Cvancara, 25, is a Czech Republic international with eight caps under his belt so far in his career. The Hoops have brought him in to boost their attacking department. He will give the Glasgow giants more competition and depth at the top end of the pitch.

The forward joined Gladbach back in 2023 and has since scored eight goals in 54 games for the Bundesliga outfit in all competitions. Prior to his transfer to Germany, he found the net on 24 occasions in 49 outings for Sparta Prague during his time in the Czech Super League. He has also had spells in the past at Jablonec, Slavoj Vysehrad and Opava.

Celtic recruit ‘disruptive’ claim addressed

Amid talk that Cvancara caused some issues at Gladbach, Celtic hero Pat Bonner has said: "Dressing rooms are funny, you know. Honestly, I've been in many different types of dressing rooms with different groups of players. Disruptive, you know, it depends on the group of players.

“Sometimes you get a group that's very, very tight and somebody else coming in to take their place or do something and it doesn't work out. I wouldn't read too much into that, to be perfectly honest. He's got to come in here and score goals. That's what he's got to do and see if he scores goals, he'll be accepted. We were all difficult characters! We all fitted in well together and we were all leaders"

Meanwhile, pundit James McFadden added: "Reports are he was unhappy and wanted to move. We've seen players that do whatever they can to get out of the situation they're in. So, I mean, it probably helped him. I know he's maybe looking back and saying, you know, that's the way I was because I wanted out of the club.

“But it's worked because he got out of the club. He got what he wanted and you get some players that make their feelings known. You can tell they're unhappy. They're desperate to leave, but they train and they do the right things and they don't disrupt training."
