Slovakian striker Milos Lacny has turned down the chance to join
Celtic.
The 21-year-old Ruzomberok forward was being tracked by a
number of clubs, including the Scottish giants.
But Lacny has opted to join Sparta Prague instead.
"I am enormously happy to become a Sparta player," he told
CTK Sport.
"I have been interested in joining them more than other
clubs, that is why I have decided for them quickly. I feel they
have been very interested in my services.
"Moreover, there will be a bigger chance for me to gain
experience here rather than at Celtic."
Lacny's agent Pavel Zika confirmed Celtic were keen on
securing his signature after he spent time on trial in Glasgow at
the end of last year.
"A lot of clubs were interested; Celtic were especially keen
on signing him," said Zika.
"At the end of 2009 Milos played in a friendly game for them
and even scored a goal.
"Eventually, though, we have come to the conclusion that the
option to join Sparta will be best solution for his career now,
although it was not an easy decision."
