In truth little to say of Lubos. Came to Celtic at the last day of the 2012 transfer window as part of the foreign trio with Miku and Lassad. Whilst the other two were given ample opportunities, Lubos was given next to no chances, none with the first team even in friendlies.
Jokers claim that coming to Celtic was still progress as he moved to third choice goalkeeper from fourth choice at Nantes, but with the incredible form of Fraser Forster and the conciliatory & patient Zaluskas ahead of Lubos, quite simply there was next to no chance for Lubos to get a foothold. If anything, the loan was becoming difficult.
He returned back to Nantes in the Jan 2013 window, with nobody noticing (it wasn't until he'd left and rumours began that he was to move possibly to Birmingham did people remember him).
Not to be unkind, there are few anywhere who could have challenged Forster for the goalkeeping spot this season, and Lubos had been unlucky in that sense. Note though, he ha been repeatedly on loan since 2011 (4 loans in two years) and not managed to convince anyone to keep him on, so maybe it was inevitable this was going to happen at Celtic also.
We wish him the best, but we never saw him play for the Hoops first team so can't say anything more.

CELTIC are delighted to announce that they have signed striker Nicolas ´Miku´ Fedor from Spanish side Getafe. And the Hoops have also signed Slovakian goalkeeper, Lubos Kamenar from French side, Nantes. Both players join the Scottish champions on a season-long loan, with the club having an option to make the moves permanent ones.
Twenty-seven-year-old striker, Miku, is a highly-regarded Venezuelan internationalist with a wealth of experience at club level in Spain and at international level for his country, and he was top scorer for Getafe in La Liga last season.
Lubos Kamenar is a 25-year-old goalkeeper, who has gained full international honours with Slovakia.
Both Miku and Lubos are delighted to be joining the Scottish champions and are ready to play their part in the campaign to retain the SPL title. And the two men are also looking forward to the forthcoming UEFA Champions League campaign, with the Hoops facing Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow.
The loan signings of Miku Fedor and Lubos Kamenar, along with the signing of Nigernian defender Efe Ambrose, will further strengthen Neil Lennon´s squad, and everyone in the Celtic family welcomes the players to the club and wishes them every success at Celtic.
And the club are also looking to bring in another striker, which they are hoping to do ahead of the UEFA Champions League deadline.
