Tomas Cvancara is the player Celtic are banking on to propel them towards the league crown.
Cvancara arrived on a season-long loan from Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach, and he is expected to make an immediate impact with little time to adapt.
The 25-year-old has been brought in to solve the Hoops’ issues up front, and Martin O’Neill has suggested the new signing could be thrown straight into the starting XI against Hearts on Sunday.
In his opening interview with the club, Cvancara quickly won over the fans by describing the Bhoys as one of the biggest clubs in the world.
That praise does little to ease the expectations on his shoulders, but the forward is adamant he is ready to cope with the demands.
Tomas Cvancara on leading the attack for Celtic
Having already taken a major step in his career, this move represents another chance for Cvancara to prove his quality.
A Czech football specialist described him as a strong, imposing striker, and Cvancara himself is confident he can rise to the challenge and deliver the goals required.
He told the press: Yeah, it’s a massive club so obviously it’s a big pressure but, as I said, I feel ready.
I’m ready for this type of pressure. For Celtic it’s very important to win the title and this is also the target for me.
“In terms of targets for myself it’s quite obvious. I’m a striker. I want to score goals.
“I want to be important for the team, I want to help the team and this is what I hope we will achieve together.”
