LUBO MORAVCIK spoke to the Celtic Huddle podcast on Tuesday describing the difficulties Celtic have trying to bring in top players on the budget they have.

The former Hoops icon believes the club have to be much smarter in the way they do business and look even harder to find diamonds in the rough.

One name Lubo did throw into the mix was Slavia Prague midfielder, Lukas Provod.

Moravcik used Provod as an example and someone a club like Celtic should be looking at.

“It is very hard for the big Scottish clubs like Celtic and Rangers now to find a player for reasonable money and with good quality.” Lubo stated. “There’s big competition for players now, especially against the English teams and big European teams.

New signing: Lukáš Provod » SK Slavia Praha

“Maybe they should go to countries where football is not very rich and find the players there, but it’s a difficult job, to be honest. You saw Slavia Prague this season in the Europa League, their players aren’t too expensive, but they are very good.

“For example, a player like Lukas Provod. He played for a small club last season, moved to Slavia and made big, big progress. He’s a very talented player, still young, good physically, has a good left foot. It would be very interesting to see a player like that. That is maybe the way to go.”

Lukas is 24-years-old and has been a revelation at Slavia since joining for a fee of under £1m.

The margins are so fine because Lukas form now probably puts him in a transfer their Celtic would rather stay away from.

It’s probably about getting these guys before they get a bigger move in the first place.

We have looked in the wrong places for years and seem to sign projects a manager has no interest in developing.

It’s a scenario we need to change. There’s no room for error come the summer.
