Celtic fans hail former midfielder Lubomir Moravcik
On this day in 1998, Celtic signed midfielder Lubomir Moravcik from German side Duisburg for just £200,000.
Aged 33 when he arrived at Parkhead, Moravcik was a relatively unknown figure, but it didn’t take long for him to make his mark in green and white.
‘Lubo’ spent four wonderful years in Glasgow, going on to win five honours in the process and cementing himself as a Hoops hero.
He became a fan favourite at Celtic Park, and plenty of Celtic supporters have now hailed the midfielder 22 years on after joining the club.
The Slovakian, who was gifted with both feet, lit up Scottish football with his brilliance, scoring 35 times in his 129 appearances.
Celtic shared this ‘on this day’ tweet regarding the former star’s arrival to the club, and it didn’t take long for these fans to wax lyrical over Lubo.
