Former Celtic loanee Tomas Cvancara has completed his latest loan move - and been backed to "confirm his potential" back in his homeland with Hradec Kralove.
The Czech striker spent the second half of last season in Glasgow's east end, on loan from Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach.
He scored just two goals and was mostly a bit-part player despite the highlight of his spell coming in the shape of scoring the winning penalty in the Scottish Cup shootout win over Rangers.
Cvancara headed back to Germany over the summer but has been unable to force his way back into the plans, not making an appearance so far this season.

It emerged last night he was on the verge of joining Hradec Kralove and the Czech top flight side have now confirmed the seanon-long loan deal.
Their sporting director Petr Pojezny said: "With the arrival of Tomas, we are gaining a player with significant quality and experience from big matches. We believe that he will help us move the team one step further, and that he will regularly confirm his potential in Hradec."

Cvancara said: "I've had my first training session with the other guys. I have to say that it was a familiarisation session and a bit challenging at the same time. I walked around the stadium and met with the management.
"I'm very happy to be able to join the team, and that Hradec gave me a helping hand - I'm very grateful for that. I think that now I can also help the club, because I wanted to return home. I believe that together we can achieve great success."
