Tomáš Čvančara has insisted he will never forget his time at Celtic after leaving the club this summer.
Idnes have a long interview with the striker today following his departure from Celtic in the summer transfer window.
Happy Celtic memories
He was on loan with the Scottish champions in the second half of last season, joining at the end of the January transfer window.
Čvančara went on to make 13 appearances, scoring two goals, before the end of the season but Celtic elected not to make the deal permanent.
He instead returned to Mönchengladbach, who have since loaned him out to Hradec Kralove for the season rather than keep him in Germany. Now is the time to reflect on a busy year. And the 26-year-old is insistent that he loves Celtic and his time there.
“I have wonderful memories of it. Unfortunately, I got injured, but I’ll never forget it anyway,” he said when asked about the Hoops.
Last European adventure
It seems he was also happy for Celtic to be his last experience abroad, for the time being. Indeed, he passed up other options in Europe to return to his homeland this summer instead.
“I won’t hide the fact that we were also considering something else from abroad,” he admitted.
“But after three years that I spent abroad, which according to many people were not entirely positive, my family and I decided that we wanted to return to the Czech Republic. Hradec gave me a helping hand.
“I won’t specify, but after long negotiations with my family and my manager, we dropped this option. Finally, we negotiated with Hradec, met and said what we would expect from each other. It took place on Wednesday, and I had my first training on Thursday.
“There were more teams from abroad in the game, but after what I went through, we evaluated it so that it wasn’t worth breaking my neck. Two pretty good years in Mönchengladbach, but the last one was worthless, a difficult situation in Antalya, injuries.”
