""He trained this morning and he's ready to go," O'Neill said. "I wouldn't want to put too much pressure on him - he's not just going to be the panacea for all our ills and woes. Just let him get settled in, I think he'll make an impact, I hope he does. But, again, I just wouldn't want to be putting extreme pressure on him to solve all our problems.""
"Kenny picked up his calf issue during Thursday's 2-2 Europa League draw with Bologna, but O'Neill's striking options are bolstered by the return to training of Kelechi Iheanacho, who has not featured since limping off in the Premier Sports Cup final defeat by St Mirren last month. "It might be a bit of a stretch to start him in a game at the moment, but at least he's going to be available," the Northern Irishman said of the Nigeria international."
"The 25-year-old Czech Republic international arrived on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach on Thursday, tasked with solving Celtic's centre-forward issues and firing the defending champions back towards the top of the table. O'Neill's side travel to the capital this weekend trailing leaders Hearts by six points and having lost both matches against the Edinburgh side this season. Despite the magnitude of the game and Kenny's injury, Celtic's interim boss was keen not to pile too much expectation on his new arrival."
Tomas Cvancara, a 25-year-old Czech Republic international, joined Celtic on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach to address the club's centre-forward issues. He trained and is expected to be available for the Scottish Premiership trip to Heart of Midlothian on Sunday. Johnny Kenny suffered a calf issue in the 2-2 Europa League draw with Bologna and is doubtful. Kelechi Iheanacho has returned to training but might be a stretch to start, though he should be available. Celtic travel to Tynecastle six points behind leaders Hearts and have lost both meetings this season.
