Manager Martin O'Neill has hinted new signing Tomas Cvancara will make his Celtic debut in Sunday's vital Scottish Premiership trip to Heart of Midlothian with a calf strain leaving fellow striker Johnny Kenny doubtful. The 25-year-old Czech Republic international arrived on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach on Thursday, tasked with solving Celtic's centre-forward issues and firing the defending champions back towards the top of the table. O'Neill's side travel to Edinburgh this weekend trailing leaders Hearts by six points and having lost both matches against them this season. "But, again, I just wouldn't want to be putting extreme pressure on him to solve all our problems. "He's making the commitment, he wants to play well, he obviously wants to do well with us and maybe as a consequence he gets himself back into the Czech Republic team."
